Mid-South Scholastic Art Awards

Presented by Memphis Art Museum and the Memphis Art Museum League, this annual juried program is open to students in grades 7–12. Entries are reviewed through a blind process by artists, art educators and other arts professionals.

Each year, young artists across West Tennessee, East Arkansas and North Mississippi submit work to the Mid-South Scholastic Art Awards for the chance to earn scholarships, exhibit at Memphis Art Museum and advance to national judging in New York City.

The program is sponsored by Pinnacle Financial Partners, RiverArtsFest, and Logan Scheidt with additional support from Derek Fordjour and the family of Marcia Bicks.
