Seven Students Win CIA Scholastic Art Awards 2018

Seven Padua seniors received Scholastic Art Awards from the Cleveland Institute of Art.

Each year, Cleveland Institute of Art hosts the Scholastic Art Competition that recognizes creative achievement in area 7-12 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 more than 1,800 entries. The art will be on display in CIA’s Reinberger Gallery from January 16 to February 2, 2018.
