High School Juried Exhibition
Guidelines 2018-2019 The only juried exhibition on Long Island that offers high school students the opportunity to show their work in a museum Now in its 23rd year, this prestigious artsin-education initiative is the only juried exhibition on Long Island that offers high school students the opportunity to show their art in a museum setting. Students in grades 9 through 12 are invited to create a work of art inspired by artwork shown in the Museum during the 20182019 school year.
Hundreds of works of art are submitted for jurying and approximately 80 are selected for exhibition. Prizes are awarded in numerous categories at the Opening Reception and Awards Ceremony. All exhibiting artists and their teachers receive full-color catalogues featuring every student artwork in the exhibition.
All submitted artwork is featured in a DIGITAL DISPLAY! In recognition of the hard work and exceptional talent of all students who submit artwork for Long Island’s Best, images of submissions that are not selected for exhibition will be shown in a digital display in the Museum for the duration of the exhibit.
