WCS Students Win Scholastic Art Awards

Student artists across the district used their artistic minds to win Gold and Silver Keys in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.

Ninety-one Williamson County Schools students were selected to have their art displayed in early February at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. Nearly 1,600 works of art were submitted to the competition from Middle Tennessee.

All Gold Key winners are submitted to the National Scholastic Art Awards. Summit High’s Chloe Salvatore’s work was also nominated for a National American Vision Award for her work Barriers. If chosen at the national level, she could win a Silver or Gold Medal or the American Vision Award and then be in the running to win $1,000.

“The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards are the nation’s longest-running, most prestigious recognition program for creative teens,” said WCS Fine Arts Director David Aydelott. “Congratulations to all our WCS Visual Art students recognized here.”
