Menomonee Falls Earns 25 Art And Design Awards

MENOMONEE FALLS, WI -- The Menomonee Falls High School Art and Design Department earned a record-breaking 25 State Awards in the Wisconsin Regional Scholastic Art competition.

Eleven years ago, the department had earned only nine awards. The Awards presentation will be held at the Milwaukee Art Museum, Feb. 9, 2019. The exhibit is on view from February 2 to March 17 in the Quadracci Pavilion.

A Gold Key Award art piece is sent onto the national competition, a Silver Key Award earns 1st in state, and Honorable Mention earns special state recognition.

The Scholastic Art Competition is comparable to the state football playoffs for student artists. It is truly an honor to have their work selected to be in the Scholastic Exhibition on display in the Milwaukee Art Museum.

The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards have provided an avenue for young artists and writers, in grades 7-12, to receive recognition and rewards for their creative achievements since 1923. By acknowledging the visions and voices of emerging artists and writers, the awards have helped nurture eight decades of promising talent by providing recognition, cash awards and college scholarships.
