Students’ Art on Display Jan. 22-Feb 5
Mason High School visual art students put on an outstanding performance in this year’s Regional Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. This was an extremely successful year for MHS as 25 percent of its entries made it into the Regional show. Forty-six MHS students won a grand total of 60 awards in this year’s competition.
Eleven of Mason’s student artists were awarded a total of 12 Gold Keys in their individual categories. Winners of the Gold Key, amounting to top honors in a particular art category, include: Avery Abraham, Conner Blumberg, Zack Boutwell, Heidi Cervantes, Lauren Fournier, Jenny Hong, Taylor Kling (who won two Gold Keys), Kate Madigan, Taylor McSwain, Emma Morrissey,and Cole Tibbs.
These eleven Gold Key winners are National Qualifiers, and will have their regional award winning pieces forwarded to New York City for national judging. Those results will be released later this spring.
MHS also had 19 Silver Key winning artworks and 29 honorable mentions. The Silvers and Honorable Mentions will be joining the Gold Key winners in being displayed at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. The exhibition will run January 22 – February 5.
The Scholastic Art Awards is a program recognizing the fine arts talents of area schools and students from Northern Kentucky, Southeastern Indiana, and Greater Cincinnati Schools.
Below is a complete list of Mason High School award winners along with their categories.
