Student Art Show

Every spring, some of the most gifted young artists in Sumner County showcase their art at the MACC as part of the Annual James B. Hawkins Sumner County Student Art Show.

This indispensable art exhibition is open to all Sumner County middle and high school art students. Each school is allowed to enter up to 10 pieces of artwork in five categories: drawing, painting, 3D, Mixed Media, and Animation. In 2024, students displayed nearly 160 art works at the MACC. Independent art experts were brought in to evaluate the students’ art, and prizes were awarded.

Student Art Show prizes included awards for “Winning Art Department,” “Best of Show” and “Director’s Pick,” along with First, Second, and Third Place ribbons and cash prizes for painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, digital art, printmaking, animation and mixed media. Participating middle school and high school art teachers also received recognition and cash prizes. The 2024 exhibition’s premier sponsor was Nossi College of Art & Design. The college awarded substantial scholarships to Sumner County’s amazing art students.

The 48th Annual James B. Hawkins Sumner County Student Art Show will ran March 30 to April 19, 2024. For information about next year’s Student Art Show, contact Drew Kirk at drew@monthavenarts.org or call (615) 822-0789.
