Dhamma School Vesak Art Exhibition 2026

As part of our upcoming Vesak celebrations, the ABV Dhamma School is excited to host a special Art Exhibition! We invite all our Dhamma School students (Pre-K through High School) to create an original piece of artwork at home to be beautifully displayed at the temple during the main Vesak celebration on Saturday, May 30th.

Participating artists will be recognized for their creativity, their ability to exemplify the Vesak theme, and their artistic technique. We cannot wait to see what our talented students create!
