Works receiving a Gold Key at the regional level are forwarded to New York for national adjudication and evaluated by professional panelists chosen from the art, literary, and education fields. From a field of more than 50,000 national entries in 2007, 7,000 works of art were eligible for national adjudication, and 1,500 students received national honors. Tennessee students received a total of 27 awards.

Sherrie -- or anyone else

Sherrie -- or anyone else out there -- do you know if any of the works from Scholastic Art are available to purchase? My parents and some of my other relatives collect work by children and teenagers, and would possibly be interested.

Purchasing student work from Scholastic

Hi, Sibyl -- I work for the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville who coordinates this show every year. To find out whether the works of art are for sale, we would simply need to contact the art teachers and their students. If you have specific pieces in mind, I would be happy to help you in this endeavor.
Thanks, Suzanne

Awesome!

We have several excellent art teachers in this area, between Oak Ridge, Knoxville and Maryville, and the work of some of their students is truly awesome.
