A special event on Wednesday, February 20, 2019, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm will honor the Scholastic Art and Writing Award winners and display their work in a gallery showing.
Each year, Scholastic Arts partners with more than 100 visual arts and literary arts organizations across the country to bring the Awards to local communities. Teens in grades 7 through 12 apply in 29 categories of art and writing.
Submissions are juried by luminaries in the visual and literary arts, some of whom are past award recipients. Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.
