ETSD has a long tradition for showcasing the talented work of our students through an annual district art show. See below for more information on this year's show.
32nd Annual Evesham Township School District Art Show Highlights
The 2026 annual show is currently being held at the Municipal Building for the entire community. The exhibit opened Monday, May 11th and will remain open weekdays from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm through May 22nd. A Gala Reception was held at 5:00 PM on opening night that featured art presentations, the unveiling of the district theme room and an interactive display for families, as well as a performance by some of our elementary orchestra students. The annual show represents hundreds of examples of the wonderful art work our students created throughout the school year. The 2026 theme is On the Move! and is a main part of the show. This district display features a train car from each school that was inspired by the work of various artists that combines to make the ETSD Express. Students had the opportunity to create a piece "On the Move" by making a pinwheel that could be added to a display or taken home that evening. Other themes throughout the show included nature, portraits, still life, design, fantasy, multicultural, and animals. Please take a moment to view the video highlights from our show below. Thank you in advance for taking the time to view this year's highlights and we hope you are able to attend the full show at the Municipal Building. We are certain you will be amazed by our talented students! A special thank you to our art teachers for making this show a success each year!
