LeMoyne Arts celebrates the 36th year of the Mahaska Whitley Student Exhibition: High School Art and Senior Portfolio Competition. This Tallahassee tradition gives high school students from across Leon County the opportunity to display their artwork in a gallery setting and gain recognition for their hard work and talent. Awards, including college scholarships, are determined by a panel of judges from the local collegiate art programs. Ms. Whitley, a retired art teacher and co-founder of the exhibit, selects a piece to receive the Founder’s Award. The goal of the Mahaska Whitley Student Exhibition is to encourage young people to pursue a creative career and to continue their love of art!
