Congratulations to these Hilliard students, Sophia Grounds-Lauber, Gavin Buehl, Leigha Dennison, Anna Alatalo, Sara Perez, and Grace Turner, who are the state-level winners of the Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition. Their work will be featured in the 52nd Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition, which opens on April 24 at the Rhodes State Office Tower in Columbus.
The pieces are among 348 jury-selected works of art created by Ohio high school students throughout the state. More than 8,000 art entries were submitted by 3,133 students for the exhibition, which is a cooperative effort between the Governor of Ohio, the Ohio Department of Education, colleges, universities and business sponsors.
“The exhibition is a testament to the high quality of visual arts education that exists in our state,” said Thad Ricker, Executive Director and coordinator of the exhibition. “It is vital that the community understands the value and importance of arts education, and the impact that it has on our young people. We hope that this exhibition fosters that understanding.”
