"Emerging Artists" High School Art Show

The Ohio Art Education Association (OAEA) is pleased to announce the return of the new and improved high school art show!  The new show, “Emerging Artists” is dedicated to showcasing the beginner artistic efforts, perhaps from students who have taken only one art class.  We hope to recognize budding talent and provide a professional forum for young people to experience competition, something they will encounter in their college applications, portfolio reviews and future art careers in college.

The exhibition is open to any Ohio High School student whose art teacher is a member of the OAEA.  Each member may submit a photograph of up to five works of art digitally.  Click on the link below to access the online submission form  Once the work is selected, the art teacher will be notified.  At that time, selected art work will need to be matted and submitted to their regional director by the September OAEA board meeting.

The Emerging Artist show will be on display September-October in the 2nd floor lobby of the State Teachers Retirement Building in Columbus.  At the reception, various awards and prizes will be given to selected students with art in the exhibition.  Students may claim their pieces at the closing reception on Saturday, October 12th, 2013.
