VISUAL ARTS Some MORE amazing news in the Stewarts Creek Visual Art world. This week is a busy week, and it's an exciting time of year for us! We have just learned that 13 of our Visual Art students have won a total of 24 awards at the nationally renowned and respected 2025 Scholastic Art Awards (this is the highest number of winning artworks in SCHS Visual Art History!) (this is also THE BIG ONE for us in the High School Visual Art world. Think: our super bowl, our World Cup, our state championship, our Mid-State/All-State, or some other sports analogy?). Each year, there are hundreds of thousands of Artworks submitted by secondary students from around the country, and thousands from Middle Tennessee alone. It is a huge honor for our students to have their work recognized on this level, and incredible to look at the list of award winners and see the variety and range of media, styles, and artistic voices represented by our Red Hawk Artists.
Congratulations to our Arts students and their recent achievements / awards. Attached are also photos of the artworks. The students who have won a Gold Key award will have their works on display at the 34th Annual Middle Tennessee Scholastic Art Awards Gold Key Exhibition at Cheekwood Historic Mansion & Botanical Gardens' Frist Learning Center Great Hall from February 1st - March 9th. The Silver Key winners will also have their work displayed digitally at the exhibition. Check out the full list of 2025 Winners in Middle Tennessee HERE.
