Hyeri W. '18 Wins National Art Award
Junior Hyeri W. has been awarded a National Silver Medal in the 2017 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards for her painting “Balloon: Unreached Dream,” the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers announced recently.
This year, a record-breaking 330,000 works of art and writing were submitted for adjudication at the regional level in the Awards’ 29 categories, which include poetry, photography, sculpture, humor, editorial cartoons, video game design, and more.
Hyeri earned two gold keys, one silver key, and three honorable mentions on the regional level for pieces submitted as part of her portfolio. Works by senior Hannah B., sophomore Sylvia Y., and freshman Leslie W. also received regional recognition.
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have helped foster the creativity and talent of millions of students across the United States, among them such illustrious leaders in their fields as Andy Warhol, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, Sylvia Plath, Stephen King, and Lena Dunham.
The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers awards more than $300,000 in scholarships annually to top Awards recipients and their educators. The Alliance also partners with art institutes, colleges, and universities to earmark scholarships for college-bound Scholastic Awards recipients.
