Chloe also received a $20,000 scholarship to the Cleveland Institute of Art. She was one of eight students to receive the scholarship.
Each year, Cleveland Institute of Art hosts the Scholastic Art Competition that recognizes creative achievement by area 7th-12th grade students. The young artists compete for cash prizes, medals, and scholarship awards. A panel of local professional artists, art educators, writers, and writing educators jury the exhibit and select the awarded pieces from nearly 3,000 entries. The art will be on display in CIA’s Reinberger Gallery from January 21-31, 2020. Chloe’s three Gold Key pieces will continue on to the national competition held each spring in New York City.
