The University of Wisconsin-Superior will be hosting its 11th Annual American Indian Art Scholarship Exhibit during the month of April 2010. This is a collaborative show that includes artwork from professional American Indian artists and high school student artists. If you have a student in your art class or have a child who is very artistic have them start creating a piece for this show. If they have a piece already done they can submit that as well. However, students who have been in the show before cannot show the same piece twice. The student who places 1st place wins a $1,000.00 scholarship to be used at UW-Superior and recognition for placing first.
