  • Visual Art Scholastic Event (VASE) Program

    Visual Art Scholastic Event (VASE) Program VASE recognizes exemplary student achievement in the visual arts by providing art students and programs a standard of excellence in which to achieve. VASE is the only art event of its kind in the nation. Students are provided the opportunity to bring artworks created in their art classes to their regional event where they are interviewed at an in-person event by a certified juror (High School and Junior VASE Regional events only). The juror evaluates their work based on a standards-based rubric and their understanding of the art process involved in the creation and development of their artwork. 2024 Middle School (JR VASE) and High School Regional VASE Program events were held as in-person events; TEAM (Elementary) events were virtual, with jurors evaluating artwork online. The program hosted 28 regional High School VASE events with 33,214 registered entries, 20 regional Junior VASE events with 13,373 registered entries, and 20 regional TEAM events with 5857 registered entries. The 2024 State VASE Event was an in-person event, with 2,349 entries advancing to State VASE. 165 artworks were granted exemplary status with the coveted Gold Seal award, and 62 scholarships were awarded to students based on their State Qualifying Artworks and on-site scholarship workshops.
