2021 Theme: How I Stay Connected to Others

NOW ACCEPTING ENTRIES!

Calling all state charter school students! Show your creativity in the first annual State Charter Schools Foundation's exhibition of student artwork. The SCSF believes that encouraging children and teens to create art helps them form connections with the world around them. Artistic engagement helps children develop cognitive and emotional skills, giving them an outlet to express themselves and explore their own ideas.

This year’s theme “How I Stay Connected to Others” invites students to express how they have stayed in touch with family, friends, and others during a time of quarantines and social distancing. Students may also demonstrate the challenges they have faced connecting with others because of restrictions due to COVID-19.

Entries will be accepted January 14 - February 28th, 2020, through this website. Entries will be displayed in the SCSF's virtual art gallery.

For complete details, see the full description and rules: The Art of Connection 2021

Awards

Three entries will be awarded prizes in each grade group! Awards will be determined by the combined scores from impartial judges who are professional artists and/or art instructors. The SCSF will also recognize a “People’s Choice Award” in each grade group based on votes by visitors to the SCSF Digital Art Gallery.
