FRANKLIN, Ind. – The Franklin College Art Department is hosting the annual High School Art Competition and Exhibition from Saturday, October 25, through Saturday, November 1. All high school artists are welcome and encouraged to submit their artwork for the chance to earn a cash award, scholarships, and the opportunity to exhibit their art.
The event accepts artwork in 3D/ceramics, drawing, graphic arts, painting, and photography. From October 1-22, students can deliver their art (one entry per student) to the Von Boll Welcome Center, 101 Branigin Blvd., in Franklin, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Submitted artwork will be displayed in the Elba L. and Gene Porrteus Branigin Atrium on the first floor of the Johnson Center for Fine Arts starting Saturday, October 25. The public may view the art during regular business hours from October 27-31.
The competition and exhibition will conclude with a closing awards ceremony, scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 1. It is free and open to the public.
“By hosting this exhibition, Franklin College helps young artists envision themselves as part of a creative community,” said Art Department Chair and Associate Professor of Art Randi Frye, M.F.A. “When students share their work publicly, they realize their art can connect, inspire, and move people.”
