2024 Showcase of Excellence displayed area’s

talented high school artists

Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) is pleased to announce another successful Showcase of Excellence in 2024 featuring the exceptional artistic talent of high school students in our area. A juried fine arts competition, this event offers young artists their first taste of a professional gallery environment. Local high school teachers in North and South Carolina as well as qualified home schoolers were invited to submit their students’ best work in painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media, printmaking, and photography/digital media.

Cash prizes were once again awarded for the top student artists and teachers. First Prize and Best in Show students are awarded a cash prize to encourage their artistic pursuits. Winning teachers are also awarded a cash prize from the Fine Arts Center that they may use for classroom projects. These prizes are made possible by generous donors to TFAC’s Arts, Education and Outreach programs.

We look forward to 2025 and to seeing the creative endeavors of our area’s youth.
