Avon Artists Win Big Again
The annual Connecticut Scholastic Art Awards is the top art competition in our state. Student artwork from public and private schools is juried by professional artists and university art faculty and is selected on merit for inclusion in a state-wide art exhibition held at the University of Hartford. Beyond the honor of being selected for this high quality exhibit, students may be awarded Gold or Silver keys and Honorable Mention Awards.

This year, over 2,700 artworks were submitted from 92 schools divided into four categories: portfolio, sculpture, drawing, and photography. Only a handful of these submissions were selected for the exhibit, and an even smaller portion received additional awards. Even with such a selective process, 19 Avon Old Farms students received a total number of 22 awards, making us joint-first in all of CT for the third time in five years.
