2928 West 13th St. Ashtabula, Ohio 44004 phone: 440-964-3396 Search This Site: Kiwanis Competition: Posted: Monday, March 19, 2007 Kiwanis Club Competition Winners will be on display April 3 - 30. An opening reception will be held Thursday, April 5 from 6-7 p.m. The Kiwanis Competition was established over 20 years ago by the Ashtabula Kiwanis Club as a way to encourage and recognize outstanding achievement in the visual arts. 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. 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. Over 300 scholarships have been awarded in the history of this competition. The benefits of this type of recognition program can be far-reaching. Many winners have gone on to receive scholarships to study art or a related field in college. All have had the benefit of having their excellence recognized and rewarded. This exhibit is an annual favorite of Arts Center visitors. A common comment is "I had no idea we had so many talented students around here." View this exhibit in our gallery April 3-30 . Admission is free.
