The 2013 Youth Art Competition at the Galeria – April 10-26, 2012
Opening Reception: Sunday, April 14 from 2-5pm
The 2013 Youth Art Competition at the Galeria is brought to you by Friends of Polish Art and the Polish Mission of the Orchard Lake Schools. This competition is open to all students to bolster their interest in the arts. We seek original works created by students in all media. In keeping with this goal, Friends of Polish Art and the Polish Mission call upon all teachers, school principals, and other interested persons in Southeastern Michigan area schools to help us in seeking out interested, talented student artists.
Students in Grades 7 – 12 in all public, private, and parochial schools in Southeastern Michigan are eligible to enter. Awards totaling $350 are offered this year (1st Place, 2nd Place, 3rd Place, the Polish Mission Award and Best Polish Theme*) as well as Honorable Mention ribbons.
*Should there not be a Polish Theme of sufficient merit, FPA/OLS reserves the right to not award.
