Awarding the exceptional artistic and literary talent of North Dakota teenagers and bringing their remarkable work to a wide audience, the 2021 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Exhibition celebrates the vision, ingenuity and talent of these artists with pride. Plains Art Museum and Red River Valley Writing Project have proudly partnered to serve as the state affiliate for the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards in grades 7 – 12, since 2015. Throughout that time, the exhibition quality has grown tremendously, reflecting the growing prominence of young artists in the state.
