Just being invited to participate in the Exhibition is a great honor due to the rigorous adjudication process. Students create these works in their art classes, each school chooses 10 artworks to submit, these artworks are adjudicated at the county level, and the finalists' artworks are matted, framed, and exhibited for the public.

As you view the exhibit, take some time to read the statements accompanying the artworks. These statements describe inspiration, process, and reflection by the students regarding their work. Student artists across the county at all grade levels incorporate writing into their visual art processes to express whole-student visual literacy.

Superintendent Dr. Ronald "Scott" Fritz, Volusia County School Board, Instructional Staff, Administration, and Teachers work to ensure that our Volusia County School students have the best quality education and support the arts programs in our schools.

We thank our special guest judges Cameron Vinston, Executive Director of ArtHaus, Port Orange; Pam Coffman, Curator of Education, Museum of Art DeLand; and Jessica Kennedy, Director of Gallery 500, Daytona Beach.

We extend a very special thank you to the more than 96 art teachers across the district that work so hard to encourage student achievement through creative pursuit.
