Each year the Cleveland Institute of Art
hosts the Scholastic Art & Writing Competition that recognizes creative
achievement in area 7-12 grade students. The young artists and writers compete
for cash prizes, medals, and scholarship awards. A panel of local professional
artists, art educators, writers, and writing educators jury the exhibit and
select the awarded pieces from nearly 3,000 entries. Students who receive Gold
Key Awards for individual works and portfolios continue to the national
competition held each spring in New York City.
Since its start in 1927, the Scholastic
Art & Writing Awards have acted as a venue for the community to view the
exceptional creative work of public, private, and home-schooled students from
the Greater Cleveland area. It also provides students, parents, and art
instructors an opportunity to understand the importance of developing and
encouraging creativity. Art & Writing alumni include Cy Twombly, Truman
Capote, Robert Redford, Andy Warhol, Stephen King, and Sylvia Plath.
