Southwest Winner Alliance for Young Artists & Writers

The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers announced the 2012 National Scholastic Art & Writing Award winners.

Lauren Skager is the 2012 winner with her Mixed Media piece entitled Muchrooms. This was also displayed at the Viva City program this past month at the Central Library. Ben Zhao is Lauren's art teacher.

National Award winners represent the top 1% of submissions to the 2012 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. This year more than 200,00 works of art and writing were submitted to regional programs. From these 13,000 received Gold Keys. Only 1,600 of these artists and writers received Awards at the national level.

These final national winners are invited to attend a ceremony at Carnegie Hall on June 1 and to participate in showcase events at Parsons The New School for Design in New York City.

Congratulations Lauren Skager
