ALBANY, Ga. – The Albany Museum of Art (AMA) is calling all young creators across Southwest Georgia to show off their talents. Middle and high school students are invited to submit their best pieces for the Second Annual Juried Southwest Georgia Student Art Exhibition, opening Saturday, November 15, during The Heart of Albany Festival.
High school participants will have the chance to win cash prizes, while festivalgoers can vote for a People’s Choice Award.
Students may submit up to two original works created between November 1, 2024, and November 7, 2025. Categories include Abstract, Technical, Enhanced Photography/Digital, and Sculpture/3D Art.
Albany Museum of Art Director of Education and Public Programming Annie Van Oteghem says this event gives young artists an opportunity to gain real-world recognition.
