Middle and high school students are being recognized for their artistic talents with the annual Middle Tennessee Scholastic Art Awards.
More than 1,500 pieces were submitted by student artists around the region. Judges look for originality, technical skill and emergence of a personal vision.
“The Scholastic Art Competition is one of my favorites,” said Brentwood High art teacher Kathryn Davis. “I encourage students to enter because it gives them a real-world opportunity to share their work with the public. Gold Key winners have their work displayed at Cheekwood, where thousands of visitors and tourists can see and admire them. The excitement isn’t just for the students; I feel the same pride and joy. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch my students thrive in this competition year after year.”
Ravenwood High’s Nandini Sutradhar’s work, Papa: The Backbone of Our Strength, is an American Vision Nominee. Of the five nominated works in the region, one will be selected in national judging to receive an American Vision Medal, which is the highest regional honor.
