Fifteen Hathaway Brown students earned 24 regional commendations from the Scholastic Art Awards, a longstanding, highly competitive local and national visual arts program. It was an outstanding year for HB, with 32 percent of student entries earning recognition.
Scholastic Art Awards are classified as Gold Key, Silver Key, and Honorable Mention. An awards ceremony for the regional winners will be held at the Cleveland Institute of Art in January. All of the HB students' award-winning work will be on display January 15-30 at the Reinberger Galleries at CIA as well. Exhibition hours are Monday-Thursday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Friday 10 a.m.-9 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday 1-5 p.m.
Each Gold Key-designated work is eligible for the Scholastic national competition and will be sent to New York City for judging at the close of the exhibition.
