By  | 

THE WOODLANDS, TX – The Woodlands Arts Council (TWAC) is pleased to announce the 2019 Student Art Scholarship Competition and is currently accepting art submissions from public, private, and home-schooled high school juniors and seniors. Interested students must submit an online application form by February 22 and can do so online at TWAC website www.thewoodlandsartscouncil.org under the cultural arts tab.

Student Art Scholarship awards presented by TWAC provide opportunities for students to exhibit their talent, while offering the potential of financial assistance toward their higher education. Students can submit one piece in any or all of the following art categories: painting, drawing, mixed media 2D, mixed media 3D, digital art, and photography.

These works, featuring the student’s creativity and their artist statement, will be exhibited at Market Street in mid-March. A panel of professors and professional artists from the local and greater Houston area will serve as jurors for the annual competition.
