High School Juried Exhibition
Guidelines 2017-2018 The only juried exhibition on Long Island that offers high school students the opportunity to show their work in a museum Now in its 22nd year, this prestigious arts-ineducation initiative is the only juried exhibition on Long Island that offers high school students the opportunity to show their art in a museum setting. Students in grades 9 through 12 are invited to create a work of art inspired by artwork shown in The Heckscher Museum of Art during the 20172018 school year. Approximately 80 works of art in various media are selected for exhibition. Prizes are awarded in numerous categories, including Best in Show, and are presented at the Opening Reception and Awards Ceremony. All exhibiting artists and their teachers receive certificates and complimentary copies of a full-color catalogue featuring every student artwork in the exhibition.
All submitted artwork will be featured in a DIGITAL DISPLAY in this year’s exhibit! In recognition of the hard work and exceptional talent of all the students who participate in Long Island’s Best, images of all submissions that are not selected for exhibition will be shown in a digital display in the Museum for the duration of the exhibit.
