More than 280 creative teens across Northern Nevada, including a student from Truckee, will soon be awarded for their original artwork submitted to this year’s Scholastic Art Awards. A panel of local judges sorted through more than 1,200 works submitted in 17 categories for the Northern Nevada visual arts component of the 2021 Scholastic Arts & Writing Awards, overseen by the Nevada Museum of Art. Winners and scholarship recipients will be honored with a virtual ceremony, premiering live on the Nevada Museum of Art Facebook page at YouTube channels at 6 pm this Friday, Feb. 19.
Exhibitions of the American Visions Nominees and Gold Key winning works are on view through March 5 at the Nevada Museum of Art and Sheppard Contemporary at the University of Nevada, Reno, respectively.
