Cash awards are awarded to 1st and 2nd place winners. Third place winners are awarded a ribbon to recognize their good work.

The students submitted artwork in 10 different categories. The categories Digital/Computer Art, Oil or Acrylic Painting, Watercolor Painting, Pastels, Drawing/Illustration, Functional Ceramics, Sculpture, Printmaking, Other/Mixed Media, and Scratch board. A small group of students hung and labeled the show which is an awesome task given how many pieces were entered.

A big round of applause to art teachers Mark Waelty from Bret Harte High School and Karen Wallace from Calaveras High School for all their hard work and encouragement for the arts.

Since March has been designated both nationally and statewide as Arts Education Month, this ArtSpirit exhibit is meant to call attention to the importance of having an education steeped in the arts. The exhibit provides the public with the rare opportunity to observe and purchase art created by the county’s many very talented teens. This year 95 students submitted pieces for the show.

ArtSpirit was chosen as the title to symbolize that through art, students often feel a spirit to express their innermost feelings, whether it be rage and fear, or joy and spirituality. The public will be impressed with the quality and the diversity and will be able to cast a ballot for their favorite artwork. At the end of the show a Popular Choice cash award will be presented to the student artist with the most votes.
