Jury Results - Cumberland County High School Juried Art Show 2026

A close-up, angled shot of an oil painting housed in an ornate, heavily carved gold frame. The painting depicts a surreal subject: a pale purple duck with its head poking through a central hole in a slice of white bread. The lighting is soft and warm, highlighting the texture of the paint and the intricate floral patterns of the gilded frame.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but the talent currently hanging on the walls of our gallery speaks volumes more. We are thrilled to officially announce the jury winners of the Cumberland County High School Juried Art Show!


From raw, evocative photography to intricate mixed-media sculptures, this year’s submissions didn’t just meet our expectations—they shattered them. Selecting winners from such a competitive pool of young talent was no small feat for our judges. These students have tapped into deep themes of identity, community, and the beauty of the everyday, proving that the artistic pulse of Cumberland County is beating stronger than ever.
