IMAGINATION THRIVES

Imagination Celebration consists of dozens of family-friendly arts events & visual art exhibits at locations across Orange County. Most events are free! This year, the festival will feature a mix of in-person events and online/streaming offerings.

In keeping with our tradition, Orange County students grades 6-12 were invited to submit original artwork inspired by the festival theme to serve as the official poster for the Imagination Celebration. We are thrilled to present the winning piece, A Thought Outside of the Universe, by 15-year old 10th grader Esmerelda Espejo, a student in the class of Judith Westing at Santa Ana High School!
