The objective of the program is to foster the confidence of young artists and to invite students to broaden their horizons while winning national recognition. The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards are the largest and longest running programs of their kind in the country.

The Gold Key winning works will be on exhibit at Boston’s City Hall in March. In addition, work by students who received a Gold Key will be shipped to the national competition. If selected at the national level, their artwork may be chosen for exhibition in New York for the National Exhibit.
All students who received awards will be invited to participate in an upcoming episode of the CPS Fine Arts Department TV show, “Spotlight on Fine Arts,” that airs on Telemedia educational channels and at chelmsfordtv.org.
