George Fox: High School Art Northwest Juried Exhibition

History

High School Art Northwest is an annual juried exhibit for high school students in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The purpose of High School Art Northwest is to provide high school students with an exhibition site and to honor their artistic achievements.   Since its founding in 1992 thousands of high school students have submitted artworks which are juried by professional artists, gallery directors and other arts professionals.
Each year approximately forty to forty-five artworks are selected for exhibit in the Lindgren Gallery, in the Ross Center at George Fox University.   Cash prizes are awarded to juror-selected students based on the excellence of their art.   Over the years the exhibit has expanded its scope to include digital art and three-dimensional art.
