Congratulations to the 2022 Winners from the Southwest Virginia Region!

On Sunday, March 27, 2022, the Fine Arts was please to host a reception and awards ceremony for the Southwest Virginia Region of the Scholastic Art Awards. We’re so proud of the talented students who participated in this year’s competition, and this event was a time to celebrate them, their art teachers, and families. Less than 30 percent of entries at the regional level receive an award, so all awards are quite an accomplishment.

The Scholastic Art Awards are the longest running and most prestigious student art awards in the country, and student winners at the national level compete for more than $37,000 in scholarships and an opportunity to display their work in exhibits in New York City during the awards ceremony and across the country. Two students from Southwest Virginia were honored with Gold Medals at the national level: Trent Hollandsworth from Radford High School, and Mary Wissinger from Cave Spring Middle School. Please check out their work and the work of the many talented students from Southwest Virginia in the galleries and slide show below.
