Scholastic Art Awards 2017

  On February 3rd, the South Bend Museum of Art opened an art exhibit for the Scholastic Art Awards winners. The South Bend Museum of Art has been participating in these awards for decades, along with many other counties of Indiana (Benton, Cass, Elkhart, Fulton, Jasper, Kosciusko, Lake, LaPorte, Marshall, Newton, Porter, Pulaski, St. Joseph, Stark, White; and MICHIGAN counties of Berrien, Cass and St. Joseph.) The Scholastic Art Award Program is an artistic organization that, according to www.southbendart.org/education/scholastics, “has sought to encourage, foster, and reward creativity in our nation’s classrooms and to confer recognition on emerging talent.”

The Award Ceremony for the winners was held on Sunday, February 5th along with their families. The 7th and 8th grade ceremony was at 1:30 PM, while the high school ceremony was at 2:30 PM. Over fifty-three awards were handed out that night to PHM district participants and forty-six of those were Penn High School students. The 2017 Scholastic Art exhibit at the Century Center is open until Saturday, March 11th. Be sure to take a look inside at your fellow classmates’ art pieces.
