We invite high school-aged students to apply for the 5th Annual Arkansas High School Artists Competition and Exhibition sponsored by Historic Cane Hill, Inc. in partnership with the University of Arkansas School of Art. The exhibition and competition are open to any Arkansas high school student currently in the 10th-12th grade.
The Grand Prize, granted to an Arkansas high school senior, is the Historic Cane Hill Young Artist Scholarship, a one-year tuition and fees scholarship to attend the University of Arkansas School of Art for the 2024-2025 academic year valued at $10,000! Additional awards may be granted as well.
Students can apply through the UA School of Art’s uarkart.slideroom.com site and see a digital copy of the prospectus through the following links:
