Emerging Artists

The OAEA High School Show is dedicated to showcasing Ohio's Emerging Artists artistic efforts, from students who have taken only one or two art classes that may need an extra boost in their confidence.  We are pleased to offer a competitive professional forum as talented students prepare for their creative future in college and in an art career. 

Emerging Artist High School Show Requirements:

• Each OAEA Secondary Member can submit 4 artworks.

• All submissions must be entered digitally via online form. 

• Only 2D work can be displayed.

• 3D entries may be submitted. If accepted the teacher must deliver a printed/matted photograph of the work.

• If accepted into the Emerging Artist show, please identify artwork with:

  • Teacher Name, Region, School, Student Name, Title of Work and Medium. 

The exhibition is open to any Ohio High School student whose art teacher is a member of the OAEA.  Each member may submit a digital image of up to four works of art.  Once the work is judged, the art teacher will be notified by email.  At that time, selected art work will need to be matted and submitted to their OAEA Regional Director by September 11 so that it may be delivered at the OAEA board meeting on September 12.

The Emerging Artist show will be on display at Riverside Methodist Hospital from September 12-26.  At the reception, various awards and prizes will be given to selected students with art in the exhibition.
