Artist of the Week Contest

Home page
The "Artist of the Week" program, sponsored by Blick Art Materials, is a weekly contest that highlights new artwork from four different grade categories (PreK-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12) and encourages family, friends and other art appreciators to vote for their favorite piece. This is not a merit-based contest, but rather a simple and fun way to remind us all that EVERY child is an artist and deserves a moment in the spotlight!
