The Future Looks Bright

The creativity of the amazing young people in our community shines. Since 1999, Northern Nevada middle and high school students have submitted their original artwork to the Scholastic Art Awards. The Museum is proud to host this prestigious national program that honors America’s most gifted young artists.

From more than 2,000 entries, a panel of judges selected five American Visions winners, 160 Gold Key winners, 317 Silver Key winners, and 801 Honorable Mentions. The top winners advanced to the national competition. We are pleased to announce that one of our regional winners received two national medals. Read more about them below.

It’s not only the winners who deserve recognition. All of the students who participate demonstrate true courage by putting something of themselves into their creative work and sharing it with all of us. The teachers that encourage and inspire them to create also deserve an abundance of appreciation.
