The highly anticipated Off the Wall competition returns for its 16th year! Each year, area high school students are invited to showcase their talent by participating in a high school art competition. The competition encourages student expression and creativity in a professional setting and allows the participants to gain experience in the field of art. The exhibit includes student work in the following categories: Visual Art, Poetry, Wearable Art, and our STEAM influenced category, Art & Technology (3D prints and digital designs). This year’s exhibition features 39 talented student artists.
View the student artwork at the Open House on Jan. 4, 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. (Snow Date Jan. 11, 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.). Awards will be announced at the Open House.
