2928 West 13th St. Ashtabula, Ohio 44004 phone: 440-964-3396 Search This Site: April Exhibit: The Kiwanis Competition: Posted: Thursday, December 22, 2005 The annual Kiwanis Club Competition was established over 20 years ago by the Ashtabula Kiwanis Club as a way to encourage and recognize outstanding achievement in visual arts. An annual favorite of Arts Center visitors, the competition is open to students in the 8th-12th grades in the Ashtabula Area. Teachers from the Ashtabula Area Schools, Saints John and Paul and the Buckeye schools are asked to collect the best of their students work and submit it to the competition. The entries are judged and 16 scholarships are awarded each year. These scholarships allow the winners to register for a class of their choice at the Arts Center. The cost of the classes is paid for by a grant from the Kiwanis Club of Ashtabula. All entries submitted to the competition are displayed at the Arts Center during the month of April. Over 300 scholarships have been awarded in the history of this local competition. The benefits of this type of recognition program can be far reaching. Many of the winners have gone on to receive scholarship awards to study art or a related field in college. All have had the benefit of having their excellence recognized and rewarded. All entries in the competition will be on display April 5 through May 1. A reception will be held on Thursday, April 6 from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. at which time the scholarship awards will be announced.
