THE ST. JAMES ART SHOW SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES THE WINNERS OF THE 2011 HIGH SCHOOL ART SCHOLARSHIP COMPETITION.
A jury of nine working artists evaluated 57 portfolios on three criteria: originality, design/unity, and technical proficiency. Eight students will receive $22,600 in scholarship grants donated by four supporting neighborhoods: the St. James Court, 4th Street, 3rd Street, & 1300 associations. For the first time, our Best of Show Winner (for a single piece) was chosen out of the entire juried exhibit. And to our surprise, one of the entrants won two prizes in the competition.
