Young Masters Fine Arts Exhibition
Dallas Museum of Art
February 25 – April 16, 2017
AP STUDIO ART WORK SUBMISSION
Since 1995, the O’Donnell Foundation and the Dallas Museum of Art have generously sponsored the Young Masters Exhibition. The Young Masters Fine Arts Exhibition celebrates the creativity and skill of each grant program: AP Art History, Music Theory and Studio Art. Integrating all three disciplines at this prestigious event reinforces both the interconnectedness of the arts and the mission of the O’Donnell Foundation’s new incentive program, Create Schools of Excellence in Fine Arts Education.
The AP Fine Arts students are invited to submit the following works:
· AP Art History - an original essay in response to a work in the DMA’s permanent collection
· AP Music Theory – an original four minute composition in response to a work in the DMA’s permanent collection
· AP Studio Art – an original two-dimensional or three-dimensional art work
The final works for each program will be selected by a panel of art historians, panel of musicians, and a panel of artists.
The Young Masters Fine Arts Exhibition will be held February 25 – April 16, 2017 in the Concourse Gallery at the Dallas Museum of Art, 1717 N. Harwood, Dallas, Texas, 75201. An evening reception for the students, their parents and teachers will be held on Wednesday, March 29, 2017 in the Atrium Café. Young Masters students and their teachers will be introduced and honored in a ceremony to be held in the Horchow Auditorium during the reception; an invitation will be sent early February to each participating YM student and teacher.
Please remember your Young Master’s original entry represents the esteemed reputation of your school, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the O’Donnell Foundation. Refrain from submitting work that would be regarded as controversial or was not completed and approved under the direction of your AP studio art teacher. We look forward to honoring and celebrating the creative talents of ODF AP fine arts grant students and teachers at the Dallas Museum of Art, a world class venue.
