Calling all youth artists! South Arkansas Arts Center’s Visual Arts Committee wants to show off your student artwork! This is an open call to all area-students to enter into the 2023 Student Art Show and Competition at SAAC. The entry deadline for this student show is January 25, and it is open to grades K-12. Cash prizes will be awarded.
Students may enter 2-D, 3-D and multi-media original artwork at $5.00 per entry. All art must be delivered to the SAAC office and can be delivered “as is.” There are no framing or matting requirements for this competition. Sale of student art is encouraged during the exhibition. Sponsored by R. Eric Hatley, MD, this fun and lively exhibit will be on display February 1-March 10.
Cash prizes will be awarded. Work will be divided into four divisions for judging: K-2 Grade, 3-5 Grade, 6-9 Grade, and 10-12 Grade. Selected from all entries received, the $100 Grand Prize will go to the Best of Show, and additional cash prizes will be awarded in each division for First Place ($50), Second Place ($25), and Third Place ($15). The awards reception for this student show will be held in the Merkle and Price Galleries at SAAC on Saturday, February 25 at 2:00pm with a judge announcing the winners.
