Hutchison Girls Win Big at 2022 Regional Scholastic Art Awards
Hutchison girls won 31 Mid-South Scholastic Art Awards this year, with 7 Gold Keys, 5 Silver Keys, and 19 Honorable Mentions.
Once again, our girls were recognized for their incredible talent in the visual arts. With 31 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 potentially 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 consistently by Hutchison’s visual art department.
The Memphis Brooks Museum of Art will exhibit Gold Key winning artwork through February 20 and host an awards ceremony for Gold Key, Silver Key, and Honorable Mention winners on Saturday, February 19.
