The Bruce Museum is seeking artwork from talented regional high school students by Sunday, May 6. Select pieces will be showcased in the 8th annual “iCreate” exhibition in the Museum’s Bantle Lecture Gallery.

Approximately 40 artworks chosen from the hundreds of expected submissions will be on display from June 9, through Aug. 12. Local students in grades nine through 12 are urged not to miss the opportunity to participate in this highly regarded annual exhibition.

Finalists will be chosen by a jury who will determine the artworks for exhibition after several rounds of voting. This year’s “iCreate” jury will include Daniel Buckley, Bruce Museum Exhibit Designer and a celebrated artist, and Deborah Simon, an esteemed art patron and collector. A third judge will be announced in the coming weeks.

Entries are limited to two-dimensional original works in oil, watercolor, acrylic, tempera, gouache, pastel, any type of drawing medium, traditional printmaking forms (such as relief, etching, stone lithograph, and serigraph), mixed media, and digital media.

Any high school student from the region may submit up to three entries digitally to MLendenmann@brucemuseum.org by Sunday, May 6.

The top five honorees will be awarded cash prizes from $500 to $100. Every student participant will be featured in a digital presentation of the “iCreate” exhibition and will be eligible for the $250 people’s choice award.

iCreate 2018 is organized by high school seniors, from Byram Hills, Darien, Rye and Scarsdale, serving as Bruce Museum’s Youth@Bruce committee.
