The YAE Juried Art Competition Awards Ceremony and Gallery will take place on Friday, May 20th from 5pm - 8pm. The winning pieces will be on display throughout the month of June in the Judith Barnes Memorial Gallery.
All participating students, families, teachers, and school administrators are invited to attend. The awards ceremony will begin at 5pm in the E.B. Ball Auditorium at Cornerstone Center for the Arts, located at 520 E. Main Street, Muncie, IN 47305.
The theme of the 2022 Young Artist Exhibition Juried Art Competition is “My Community”. Over the past two years, our understanding of community has shifted as every aspect of our lives has changed from the familiar, to the digital unknown, to something completely different, a mix of the before-times and the future. Through it all, we have had our community - whether it was learning something new with our classmates on Zoom, having socially distanced holiday dinners, or getting back outside to play with our friends for what felt like the first time in forever, we had each other to get through this unprecedented time in our lives.
How would you describe the community you are a part of? What do you share in common with others around you? How is a community built? What do you see everyday that is an example of the community you live, learn, and play in? Think about these ideas as you create brand new works of art for the 2022 YAE Juried Art Competition!
Contestants are invited to submit up to two (2) works of art in the following categories: 2D (painting, drawing), 3D (sculpture, fiber arts, ceramics), and Intermedia (photography, videography, digital animation). No more than two submissions will be accepted per student.
This year’s age categories are as follows:
K - 2nd Grade
3rd - 5th Grade
6th - 8th Grade
