The Scholastic Art Awards are one of the only nationally competitive programs to recognize outstanding artistic achievement among students in grades 7–12. Previous recipients include Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, Robert Redford and Joyce Carol Oates.
A statewide regional affiliation of the National Scholastic Art Awards program, the Minnesota Scholastic Art Awards (MSAA) recognize our state’s most creative teenagers and offer scholarship opportunities for graduating high school seniors.
