This year, we had a record number of 810 individual submissions and many high-quality pieces. As we only have one gallery for ArtNow that holds a limited number of physical pieces, selecting the final pieces for the exhibition is a difficult process. Our selection committee saw high merit in each of these honorable mentions and wanted to show appreciation for the thoughtfulness and skill of each artwork. Although these students won’t be exhibiting artists in this year’s exhibition, we wanted to feature their artwork and statements on our blog to honor their effort, talent, and perspective.
