JE students win 23 CNY Scholastic Art awards
Thirteen students from Jordan-Elbridge High School are being recognized for their artistic talent. The students received a total of 23 awards in the 2023 Scholastic Art competition. Six students earned Gold Keys, the highest honor, while five earned Silver Keys and seven earned honorable mention."The kids worked really hard," said art teacher Katie DeLorenzo. "They’re like a family. They were always willing to give each other feedback and work together, that’s just how they work, and it was really great to see."
Hundreds of students from more than 400 schools enter their work in the annual program, which also includes students from more than a dozen Central New York counties. Individual pieces and portfolios are awarded Gold Key (highest honor), Silver Key and honorable mention. Gold key award winners will be considered for national-level recognition. All of the students' works were judged by professional artists, photographers and educators.
The art is on display at Onondaga Community College's Whitney Applied Technology Center through March 3rd. It is open to all community members. Some work will also be on display at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, from March 11 through April 9.
