Area High School Art Students Shine in Tryon Fine Arts Center’s Showcase of Excellence
2026 Best in Show Winner Luca Gayosso, Boiling Springs H.S. with his drawing “EDC”
This juried fine arts competition offers young artists their first taste of a professional gallery environment and experience–from submitting work to jury selection to judging to exhibition.
Work is submitted by local high school teachers in North and South Carolina as well as qualified home schoolers. The artworks they enter are their students’ best work in painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media, printmaking, and photography/digital media. And it is impressive! Winning students and teachers receive cash awards.
Exhibit is open for viewing through Saturday, February 21.
Jeanne Parker Gallery Hours: Friday – Saturday, Noon – 4 pm, or by appointment
Or stop by during normal business hours, Mon – Fri 10 am – 4 pm, and a staff member will show you to the gallery.
