2024 High School Juried Art Competition|| Art Exhibition

EXHIBITION DESCRIPTION

Annually, the Paramount Center for the Arts, along with our dedicated sponsors host a regional art show, in which schools across Central Minnesota are invited to participate. This year, we are working with 25 teachers representing 17 schools, with a record number of student submissions (131).

The exhibition was onsite at the Paramount in April 2024.

If you were not able to view the work in-person, the virtual gallery will be made available online through the end of the year.
