CAGT Presents: 7th Annual Student Art Contest
The Colorado Association for the Gifted and Talented would like to invite students from around Colorado to share their outstanding artistic talents with the attendees at this year’s conference.
Students who attend any K-12 school or homeschool in Colorado can create their own artistic interpretation of our conference theme, Empowering Change, and share it with us this fall
at CAGT’s Annual Conference, October 19-21, 2025.
Accepted artwork will be displayed virtually and at the John Q. Hammons Conference Center at the Embassy Suites in Loveland for our conference participants to view and vote on their favorites.
All contest information criteria are included in this flier.
**Please know that we are looking for outstanding pieces of art that are each student’s own original, unique interpretation of our 2025 conference theme, not a replication or variation of our conference logo as seen above.
We hope you consider sharing your extraordinary artistic gifts with us and submit your vision of Empowering Change.
Parenting an Artistically Gifted Child: Interview with an Artist
"So many of us struggle with issues in parenting gifted children. How do we make sure we don’t break them? How do we support their gifts without being pushy or putting undo pressure on them? How do we nuture without suffocating? How do we navigate our own insecurities?
I was interviewing Ava, a young gifted artist, as part of my Interview with a Gifted Kid series. Her dad, a professional artist and art teacher, was home at the time. I took the opportunity to ask him a few questions about parenting a child with strength in the same area in which one also has a strength.
He gives such beautiful answers that apply to all parents. It’s perhaps one of the greatest discussions of excellent parenting I’ve participated in." Lisa VanGemert
