Art. Write. Now. Tour // 2019- 20, a traveling exhibition showcasing more than 100 original pieces of art and writing from the talented teen award recipients of the 2019

Produced and presented by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, the Tour showcases a selection of works from the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards—the country's longest-running and most prestigious scholarship and recognition program for creative students in grades 7–12. If you want to know what issues are on the minds of teenagers, the Art.Write.Now.Tour is sure to provide valuable insights through the lens of sophisticated and captivating artworks. All Scholastic Art & Writing Awards recipients walk in the footsteps of notable program Alumni including Andy Warhol, Joyce Carol Oates, Charles White, Stephen King, Tschabalala Self, and Kay WalkingStick, all of whom received Scholastic Awards when they were teens.
In the 2019 program year, nearly 340,000 works of art and writing were submitted for adjudication at the regional level in the Awards’ 29 categories, which include poetry, painting, editorial cartoon, video game design, architecture, short story, photography, and more. These emerging artists’ and writers’ works were first adjudicated regionally, then again on the national level by leading creative professionals.
