Record Recognition
Trinity Artists and Writers Honored with nearly 50 awards in nation's premiere arts achievement competition
Thirty-three Trinity artists have been recognized in the annual Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, described as “the nation's longest-running, most prestigious educational initiative supporting student achievement in the visual and literary arts.”
Submitting work in media that varied from photography to ceramics to comic art, the students earned a school-record 46 awards in the visual arts and three in writing, all of them selected from thousands of entries by high school students in the region.
Work that achieved Gold and Silver Key status will be on display at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond from February 8 to February 23, 2025. Digital projections of the Honorable Mention works will also be on display.
Gold Key winners of art and writing will advance to the national level of judging in New York City.
“Submissions are juried by luminaries in the visual and literary arts, some of whom are past award recipients,” reads the official award description from Scholastic. “Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.” Recognizing exceptional artwork by students in grades 7–12 throughout the U.S. Scholastic provides the largest source of creativity-based scholarships for middle and high school students.
The Trinity visual arts curriculum includes photography, painting, drawing, ceramics, mixed media and much more. Course levels are designed to meet the needs of beginning students through IB art certificate students. Trinity’s 4,000-plus square-foot visual arts center brings together artists, painters and sculptors in a spectacular collaborative space. Learn more at www.trinityes.org/arts.
