Every year in February and March, Plumas Arts accepts art work by Plumas County students, kindergarten through high school, to enter into the highly popular, Student Art Show during month of April. Students are encouraged to submit one piece of art for the Art Show which must be properly matted and turned in to their teacher before March 14th. In 2007, nearly 300 entries from students throughout the county were displayed in all four communities of Plumas County in honor of Student Art Month.
