Lily Receives Another Scholastic Award

Lily E has done it again! One of the art pieces from her senior portfolio, a painting titled “Speculum”, has been recognized with a prestigious award, marking another milestone in her artistic journey. Lily is a talented art student mentored by Patricia Kapral, a former CHS parent.

The Fine Arts Center is the official affiliate of the Scholastic Art Awards, which are renowned for being the most prestigious and longest-running awards initiative for teen artists. This year, the competition drew over 400 entries from students in grades 7-12. These submissions came from a wide geographic area, encompassing 23 counties as well as independent towns and cities throughout Southwest Virginia.

Lily’s exceptional talent has earned her the honor of being chosen as an American Visions Nominee. Along with this recognition, she received a $250 scholarship, which will further support her future artistic endeavors and projects.

Lily’s award-winning piece can also be viewed here at the Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley website.

Congratulations, Lily, we are all so proud of you.
