The Scholastic Art Awards© are one of the most exciting opportunities for students to interact with museums. This national program was established 86 years ago and is the most prestigious recognition program for young artists. Many regional museums throughout the country host the Scholastic Art Awards©. The Nevada Museum of Art in Reno NV does a fantastic job of hosting the Scholastic Art Awards© for northern Nevada. This program allows students who receive a gold key to show their artwork at the museum. Gold keys are then juried nationally to determine gold and silver key winners at the national level. In addition to the gold and silver keys the scholastic art awards present the American Visions Award to one student per region. The American Visions award is selected from the top five regional gold key winners and provides scholarships opportunities. My students won 11 gold keys, 2 silver keys and 4 out of the 5 American Vision Award nominees were also my students. I am very proud of all of my students this year. Below is a video by Toshadeva Palani; [re]birth won a gold key.
