Studio Arts Celebrates the 2023 Minnesota Regional Scholastic Art Awards

January 18, 2023

Perpich Studio Arts (Visual Arts and Media Arts students and staff) is celebrating another year of Scholastic Arts hard work and success!

We are very pleased to announce the 2023 Minnesota Regional Scholastic Art Awards! Congratulations to the Perpich Gold Key, Silver Key, and Honorable Mention award winners and our hard working and inspiring teachers! With this list of impressive students, Perpich ranks second in the top five schools in Minnesota of those receiving the most awards in all categories.

Rebecca Bullen, Studio Arts Chair and Assistant Principal, said, “It takes a lot of courage to put yourself and your art out into the world. Our arts and academic educators are incredibly supportive of our young artists. We are an environment that fosters and encourages passion and learning, taking risks, AND making sure the submission process happens! Everyone, receiving an award or not, needs to be recognized for this artistic learning journey. So to all – CONGRATULATIONS!”

Pasakura Lee (Visual Arts 2023), whose art portfolio, Down to the Roots, received a gold key, said, “Winning a gold key is very cool and I’m thankful to have been able to participate in the Scholastic Awards!”
