DGN Visual Artists Honored - 2019 Scholastic Art Awards

"Serendipity" by Angela Wong - American Vision Nominee (Best of Show)

The Fine Arts Department at Downers Grove North High School is proud to announce the results of the judging from the 2019 Scholastic Art Awards held at Downers Grove North High School and hosted by the Community High School District 99 Fine Arts Departments.  1,209 student artists representing 149 arts educators submitted 2,826 works of art for adjudication. North High artists won 93 awards, including two American Vision (Best of Show), 32 Gold Key Awards, 26 Silver Key Awards, and 33 Honorable Mention Awards.

“We are very excited to host the regional exhibition at North High,” said Brayer Teague, Fine Arts Department Chairman. “This show is always an amazing display of student creativity and a testament to the wonderful art teaching that is happening in District 99.”  According to Teague, the art teachers from both North and South High School play an important role in putting the exhibition together.  “Our District 99 art teachers are the engine behind this regional affiliate of the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.  Their dedication and tireless commitment enables student artists from all over the suburban region to have their work evaluated by professional artists.”

Community High School District 99 will host the Scholastic Art Show Regional Exhibition from February 3-8, at the North High School campus Main Street Lobby (4436 Main Street, Downers Grove, IL 60515).  The public is cordially invited to attend the Exhibition Opening and Artists Reception on Sunday, February 3, from 1:00 – 4:00 pm.
