On display through February 15, this long-running exhibition also recognizes student’s artistic achievements. Young artists submit hundreds of pieces which are juried for selection into the show. Students are then awarded cash prizes in the categories of painting, photography, drawing and 3D. The exhibition also provides a foundation for future success with scholarships to major universities.

Open 9am-5pm Monday through Friday and 10am-4pm Saturday. Free admission.
