The contest recognizes the artistic talent of our region’s high school art students, bringing together high school artists from across western and central Wisconsin. 

“I look forward to an America which will reward achievement in the arts as we reward achievement in business or statecraft. I look forward to an America which will steadily raise the standards of artistic accomplishment and which will steadily enlarge cultural opportunities for all of our citizens. And I look forward to an America which commands respect throughout the world not only for its strength but for its civilization as well.

--President John F. Kennedy at Amherst College, October 26, 1963
