Hutchison Girls Win Big at 2023 Regional Scholastic Art Awards
Hutchison girls won 57 Mid-South Scholastic Art Awards this year, with 11 Gold Keys, 15 Silver Keys, and 31 Honorable Mentions. Several students also won special awards for their work.
Hutchison upper school girls were recognized by the Mid-South Scholastic Art Awards for their incredible talent in the visual arts. With 57 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 consistently by Hutchison’s visual art department.
