The GFWC KY Barbourville Junior Woman’s Study Club will be hosting the 2023 Knox County Art Show at the First United Methodist Church. Open to students in grades preschool through 12th grade, there are a variety of categories that our young artists can enter their masterpieces in. The presentation of awards will be held at the First United Methodist Church on Monday, March 20, at 6:00 p.m. A reception will be held after the presentation of awards hosted by the GFWC KY Barbourville Woman’s Study Club.
An art show designee has been named at each school. Submissions will go directly to the student’s school. Each school will be responsible for judging their own art and submitting the top winners to the county level.
- Elementary (PS-6) schools: Each school may submit three (3) entries per grade level.
- Middle schools (7-8) may submit eight (8) entries per grade level.
- High Schools: Students may enter one (1) entry in each category, a maximum of 4 per student.
There are four categories that students can enter:
- Drawing-pencil, ink or charcoal
- Painting-Oil, Watercolors or Acrylic
- Mixed Media-Combination of drawing and painting, and computer generated
- Photography-Must be taken by students
There are certain guidelines that have been set for the size of entries and how they are to be labeled with the student’s information.
A complete document with the guidelines and requirements is available for download.
