January 2010 Award Winners

Congratulations to National Award winner Haley Bourke of South Albany High School! Haley Bourke's "Infans" and Miguel Gonzalez's "self portrait" won Gold Medal national awards.

The National Gold Medal Award is defined as "The most outstanding works in the nation".


From June 8-25, 2010, The World Financial Center Courtyard Gallery in New York City will showcase film, video, animation, writing, photography, painting, sculpture, fashion, drawing, graphic design and ceramics by emerging teenage artists recognized nationally through The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. These talented teenagers follow in the footsteps of Andy Warhol, Richard Avedon, Robert Redford, Philip Pearlstein, David Salle, Robert Indiana, Tom Otterness and Zac Posen, who all won Awards when they were in high school.
