What is the Scholastic Art Show?
Each year the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards partners with more than 100 arts organizations across the nation to bring the Scholastic Awards to local communities. District 99 is the host of the western suburban affiliate and the event will take place at DGN. There are over 20 schools participating in our local show this year. Student submissions are juried by some of the foremost leaders in visual arts. Jurors look for works that exemplify the Awards' core values of originality, technical skill, and emerging personal voice and vision. Students receiving Gold Keys at the regional awards are invited to submit to the national competition. National medalists are recognized in part at a ceremony at Carnegie Hall in New York City. This is such an exciting event for our visual arts students! Our regional show will be judged on January 18th. There will then be a reception for the public from 1:00-5:00 on Sunday February 2nd.
