ART.WRITE.NOW Tour, a selection of works from the prestigious Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, is currently on exhibit in our Swigert Commons! The exhibit represents a small sample of the Alliance’s annual national exhibition, which in 2011 showcased more than 600 works from teens in grades 7 through 12.

The ART.WRITE.NOW Tour is central to the Alliance’s mission to provide recognition for creative teens and to highlight the value of arts education," said Virginia McEnerney, Executive Director of the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. "The exhibition gives visitors a body of top-notch art that we hope will inspire them to appreciate creative teens for their maturity, talent and originality."

This exhibit is amazing, and is well worth the trip to PNCA if you are in Portland!
