High School Artists’ Entries Due

BY BARBARA M. TOBIAS –

Mena Art Gallery’s (MAG) annual High School Art Competition will be open for entries at 607 Mena Street from 10 am to 4 pm on Wednesday, April 8. The competition is open to all artists of high school age (grades 9 through 12) in any media.

Entries submitted for previously judged MAG shows cannot be accepted and all entries must have been done since the 2014 High School Show. Entries can be made through your high school art class or by individuals; entry fees are $1.00 per entry. Entry forms may be picked up at the gallery during regular hours: 11 am to 2 pm Tuesdays and 10 am to 3 pm Wednesdays through Saturdays. You may also download the entry form from the gallery website: www.MenaArtGallery.org. Click on “High School” in the left-hand menu.

This show, in its 28th year (started in 1987), always brings in outstanding work of our area high school students. We are looking forward to seeing what our local young artists have produced this year.

Jeremy and Quincy Thornton of Mena Title Company are again providing the funds for awards to our local artists. We very much appreciate Mena Title’s long-time support of art for youth in Mena.
