The Pop Up Art Show at Libertyville High School is a unique event that showcases the talent and creativity of our student artists midway through the school year.

This annual event features upwards of 200 pieces of artwork, spanning a wide range of disciplines including painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography, jewelry, ceramics, glass, digital art, and more. Students from all levels have the opportunity to display their work, providing a preview of what the Fine Arts program offers. With its intimate setting and interactive atmosphere, the Pop Up Art Show allows visitors to experience live art creation, including a life-drawing session where students can quickly sketch models and share their work.

This event is a chance to celebrate our students’ achievements and creativity before the larger spring art show, offering an early look at the diversity and depth of our artistic community.
