Promising Picassos Art Exhibition
The Promising Picassos Student Art Exhibit is all digital with a Virtual Art Gallery to coincide with National Youth Arts Month every March.
All artwork will be juried for acceptance into the exhibit. The top four pieces will receive monetary prizes as well as the opportunity to be displayed at Island Rec Center as a part of their March Exhibit.
Note: We need to limit 15 pieces maximum from each high school and 10 maximum from each middle and elementary school.
The exciting part of remaining an online gallery is that your students are not confined to size constraints.
Please email us at iscaonlineinfo@gmail.com a high quality jpeg, pdf, or png of current work with the following information on each piece. We cannot accept pieces without ALL of the following information.
1. The name of the work
2. The medium used for the piece
3. The name of the school
4. The art teacher's name & school email address
5. The student's first and last name & school email address
6. The student's grade level
All participating art teachers must notify ISCA of their involvement in ISCA Promising Picassos exhibit via email by the first of February each year.
The Submission Deadline is the last Monday in February each year.
Teachers will be notified via email of the selected pieces in mid-March each year.. The “Gallery” will be viewable here for the month of March and featured on our Instagram and Facebook pages.
