reception on April 28, 2016.
Superintendent’s Purchase Award:
The Superintendent will choose one piece from the High School Art Show to receive the Superintendent’s
Purchase Award. At the end of the Art Show, this piece will be purchased for permanent display at the
Everett Public Schools Community Resource Center. All entries will be considered for this award, regardless
of category or level.
Entry Instructions and Due Date:
Entries will be accepted from all Everett Public Schools high school students. Most students coordinate with their
art teacher to select their best entries for the show. In order to enter artwork for the show, students must:
 Limit their entries to two pieces per student. Note: Students may submit only one three-dimensional
artwork (e.g., ceramics/sculpture, book art pieces, or glass art), due to space limitations.
 Submit a completed entry form (including permission to display form).
 Prepare the artwork to hang or for display before submitting the artwork.
 Permanently attach an Art Label to the back of each piece of artwork, so the label will not fall off, and it
is hidden when the piece is displayed. A wall display label will be provided for each piece.
 Submit the artwork matted or without a mat. Framed artwork cannot be accepted due to size and weight
restrictions.
All Student Entry Forms and Artwork are due to the Community Resource Center on March 25, 2016.
Please deliver or send them to Theresa Webb (425-385-4060) in the Curriculum Office.
Sale of Art Work:
Students will have the option of selling their artwork while it is on display. Students and parents/guardians will be
informed by letter of any interested buyers. It will be the responsibility of the students and parents/guardians to
contact the buyer regarding the sale of their piece. Students and parents/guardians will also be responsible for
delivering the artwork after it is returned to them from the show.
