March 8, 2024

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 2024 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 third in the top five schools in Minnesota of those receiving the most awards in all categories.

Kathryn D’Elia, Studio Arts Chair and Visual Arts Instructor, said, “We are so excited to announce the results of the Regional Scholastics Awards for this year and want to honor the effort all Visual Arts and Media Arts students put into not only creating their artwork, but carefully documenting, editing, citing sources, writing statements, and adapting to a brand new portal system that was not without its challenges. Please take some time to celebrate your hardwork and that of your fellow artists!”
