Artist of the Week Contest
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!
Blick Art Materials has generously donated a $100 gift certificate to each winning school and $50 gift certificate to each winning artist each week.
Voting is currently closed
Voting for the next Artist of the Week starts this upcoming Wednesday.
