Six Ontario High School students' artwork were judged to be among the best in Ohio. For the fourth year in a row, an Ontario student's piece was judged to be in the top 25 artworks in the state. Taking the top honor this year is Hannah Stickelman. Other Ontario students selected for the Governor's Youth Art Exhibition were Cassie Boyce, Amy Cramer, Ashley Rengert, Braydon Thomas and Donovan Young. In addition, Ontario High School students Cassie Boyce and Amy Cramer also had pieces selected to be in a Cameo Display in the State Department Board of Education and the Governor’s office respectively. Congratulations to all the students for their outstanding accomplishments.
The Ohio Governor's Youth Art Exhibition, now in its thirty-eighth year, is dedicated to the educational and artistic advancement of our talented young people in the state of Ohio. The exhibition is open to all of Ohio's 1,053 high schools, both public and private, chartered by the State of Ohio Department of Education. Our purpose is to provide all budding young artists of the state with opportunities to advance their talent, whether that be through scholarships or simply experiencing the process of entering their work in a competition. The exhibition is a valuable incentive for our young people; it encourages an appreciation for the arts throughout Ohio and reflects the fine quality of art instruction and talent which exist in our state. The state judging takes place in Columbus; however, the judges for this level of competition are chosen from all over the country and are generally professional artists, college level instructors, or both.
From the 12,000 regional entries from the 15 regions, approximately 2,500 are selected to enter the state judging. State jurors then select 300 for the actual exhibition, with 25 of the 300 chosen to receive the Governor's Award of Excellence. Scholarships are offered to seniors by over 30 universities and colleges of art. The selection of students to be offered scholarships is left strictly up to those institutions who offer them. The Governor's Exhibition is merely a vehicle through which schools and students are brought together.
The exhibition opens at the James A. Rhodes State Office Tower, across from the State Capitol, in April, and closes at the end of May. At the exhibition opening, students receive Awards of Excellence and scholarship awards. More information may be found at www.govart.org.
