This year’s theme: “Mokelumne & Cosumnes River Wetlands: Helping Migrating Birds“
Let your creativity take flight!
All Lodi students are invited to create artwork celebrating our local rivers, wetlands, and the amazing birds that depend on them.
Every fall, Sandhill Cranes and many other migratory birds travel along the Pacific Flyway. Our local rivers and wetlands provide important habitat and water for these incredible travelers.
How to participate
We provide the 11×17″ paper! Just email kgrant@lodi.gov to request yours.
Artwork deadline: Monday, October 26, 2026.
Teachers choose up to five completed student works per class and submit them by the deadline. Artwork will be displayed at the Festival on November 7-8, 2026 at Hutchins Street Square, and returned by early December.
The guidelines explain who can participate and how to submit and retrieve the artwork. Each artwork needs a label, and each class needs an inventory sheet.
