54 Scholastic Art Awards: That’s Hutchison STRONG!
Hutchison girls won 54 Mid-South Scholastic Art Awards this year, with 19 Gold Keys, 15 Silver Keys, and 20 Honorable Mentions.
Drawing and illustration, mixed media, and photography…Once again, our girls were recognized for their incredible talent in the visual arts. With 54 awards, Hutchison led all other independent schools in the regional competition.
Congratulations are also in order for the professional working artists who work with our girls each day. They foster a classroom environment that inspires students to express their creativity and strengthen their confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
The Mid-South Scholastic Art Awards offers the girls a chance to compete on a regional and national level. It is an opportunity for them to be recognized for their talent and creativity. It is also a way for the public to see the level of work that is produced on a consistent basis by Hutchison’s visual art department.
