The Asheville Art Museum and the Asheville Area Section of the American Institute of Architects are the Western North Carolina Regional Affiliates of the Scholastic Art Awards.
This ongoing community partnership has supported the creative talents of our region’s youth for 35 years. The Western North Carolina Regional program is open to students in grades 7-12 across 20 counties.
The regional program is judged in two groups: Group I, grades 7-8 and Group II, grades 9-12. We received nearly 800 entries from students across our region.
The 2015 Regional Judges are: Bill Byers, Carol Bomer and Court McCracken. The judges carefully viewed each entry then selected Gold Key, Silver Key and Honorable Mention award recipients in a variety of media. Out of all the entries, 123 works have been recognized by the judges and are featured in this exhibition.
The exhibition will continue at the Asheville Art Museum through March 8th, 2015.
