Special thanks to The Tennessee Credit Union, who has partnered with us to present The Scholastic Art Competition at Cheekwood for twenty-six years. Education programs at Cheekwood are funded in part by HCA, Metro Nashville Arts Commission and Tennessee Arts Commission.
For the 26th consecutive year, Cheekwood is proud to host the regional competition and exhibition for Middle Tennessee Scholastic Art Awards, which celebrates art achievements by students in grades 7-12.
This year, 49 Middle Tennessee art students took home Gold Key awards, 99 Silver Key awards and 203 Honorable Mentions. Five students, Talia Barton, of University School of Nashville; Olivia Defazi, a home school student; Grace Hall of Hendersonville High; Jenna Lowe of Brentwood High School and Richard White of Montgomery Bell Academy have each received an American Vision Award nomination.
One of the five will be chosen as a national finalist in the American Vision Award competition to be held in New York. Regional winners are eligible for scholarships and cash prizes, are part of the exhibition at Cheekwood, and have their work sent to New York City for national judging.
This year’s awards ceremony and reception will be held Saturday, Feb. 4 at 1 p.m. in Massey Auditorium. Artworks by Middle Tennessee’s Gold Key recipients will be on display in Cheekwood’s Frist Learning Center Courtyard Gallery Feb. 4 through March 5 before going on to be judged by the national panel in New York.
