Scholastic Art and Writing Awards
The Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art is thrilled to host the nationally-renowned 102nd annual Scholastic Art and Writing Awards for the Polk County, Florida Art Region. Presented by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, the Scholastic Awards initiative invites students grades 7-12 (ages 13 and up) to submit their original works produced across all media to have a chance to have their work recognized in the nation’s longest-running and most prestigious scholarship and recognition program.
Last year, we had the honor of congratulating Evelyn Hoffert from Harrison School for the Arts on placing as a National American Visions Medalist for her piece, Paper Weight.
The Polk County Scholastic Art and Writing Awards are made possible by the generosity of Joy and Michael Martin.
Thank you to our Student Gallery Sponsors:
