16th Annual Juried Student Art Show
The Student Art Show showcases the incredible talent of high school students from across the Bismarck-Mandan area, including Bismarck High, Century High, Legacy High, Mandan High, and South Central High. This year’s show features over 150 pieces of artwork, offering a dynamic range of mediums such as graphite, acrylics, oils, ceramics, sculptures, and photography. Each piece reflects the creativity, skill, and individuality of the students, making it a vibrant and diverse collection.
Juror Shelly Sayler will be selecting 20 standout students to receive cash awards, recognizing their outstanding pieces. In addition, 10 students will earn honorable mentions for their impressive work. One deserving student will also be awarded the $500 Twingley Scholarship, which will help support their continued artistic development.
This annual juried show not only offers a platform for young artists to display their work, but also gives them a chance to engage with the local art community and gain exposure. It’s an excellent opportunity for students to refine their skills and receive recognition for their hard work. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just looking to experience the creativity of the next generation, the 16th Annual Student Art Show is a must-visit event that celebrates the future of the arts in our community.
