YUHSD digital photography students’ artwork to be shown at Yuma Art Center

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Yuma Union High School District (YUHSD) says their digital photography students from Kofa, San Luis and Cibola High Schools will have their artwork displayed at the Yuma Art Center.

The gallery, called "3-Way Exposure: Kofa x San Luis x Cibola," is said to be a partnership between YUHSD and the Art Center in order to "feature the work of advanced photography students enrolled in level three photography classes."

"The Yuma Art Center is glad to collaborate with Kofa, San Luis, and Cibola High schools to highlight the incredible talent of our young local artists," City of Yuma Gallery and Public Art Coordinator Kristyn K. Trujillo said. "Alongside events like our annual Children's Festival in April, this exhibition gives students an additional moment to share their art in a professional gallery setting. It’s a chance to recognize their talent and support Yuma's next generation of artists."

YUHSD listed the following students whose artwork is on display at the Art Center:

• Jacob Bonillas from Cibola
• Andrea Estrada, Maryjo Martinez, Francisco Perez and Abraham Rios from Kofa
• Ximena Diaz, Raul Lara, Amanda Madrigal, and Gloria Reyna from San Luis

"Having their final project be a gallery opening sets them up to professionally showcase their skills and personally interact with the community," Kofa photography teacher Adrianne Comstock said. "This is an opportunity they have earned in their three years as photography students at Cibola, Kofa and San Luis, so we are very proud to support them as they grow into young professionals. The Art Center has been very gracious in working with us to make this happen for these students."

The gallery is currently open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and will go until Friday, August 21, 2026.

There will be a reception Friday, June 26, 2026, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. to celebrate the students' artwork and the skills they have developed.
