The Visual Arts Department wanted to invite you all to celebrate all 74 submissions that were accepted into the regional Scholastics Art Competition from North High School. According to AMAC, Wichita Public Schools had a total of 145 submissions accepted into this prestigious showcase, and we are so proud that North is 51% of those submissions. This is also our second year in a row having an American Vision Nominee, which was awarded to our very own Lola Ledesma Pando for her painting "Future Teacher." Collectively, our students received 14 Gold Keys, 17 Silver Keys, and 43 Honorable Mentions. The works truly capture students' lived experiences, and it would be a disservice not to share that amazing body of work with all of you. 

Additionally, these inspiring works will be on display either digitally or physically at Mark Arts in February. Gold and Silver Keys will be hanging in the student gallery, while Honorable Mentions will be featured in a projected display. You are more than welcome to join us on Friday, February 7, from 4–6 p.m. for live music and photo opportunities at the opening reception. The exhibition will conclude with a closing celebration and college open house on Saturday, March 29, recognizing the diverse talents of the artists included in this exhibition. We have attached the list for all to view – please congratulate these talented artists.
