Special appreciation is extended to the State Foundation of Culture and the Arts (SFCA) for making this trip possible.
Special recognition goes to senior Coco Romano Giordano, who is an “American Visions” nominee, and Eric Fetsch who submitted his senior portfolio showcasing an entire body of work.
With nearly a century of history, the Scholastic Art &Writing Awards has grown to be the nation’s longest-running, most prestigious recognition initiative for creative teens, as well as the largest source of scholarships for young artists and writers.
