ABOUT THE PROGRAM: The P.S. Art competition was created to acknowledge outstanding student artwork in grades PreK to 12 through an exhibition of student work and a catalogue publication. The New York City Department of Education and Studio in a School convene panels of acclaimed artists, notable arts professionals and respected art educators to serve in two rounds of judging. The final selection of artwork highlights the outstanding work of our students and the exemplary practices of their teachers as it relates to the Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in Visual Arts.

JUDGING: The first round pre-screens electronic submissions of artwork. In March, schools whose artwork advances to the second round will be asked to submit the actual student work, student and teacher comments, and release forms to the Office of Arts and Special Projects.

EXHIBITION AND CATALOGUE: The exhibition is scheduled to open in mid-June and remain on view for two months at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. To mark this special anniversary, the Museum has graciously agreed to grant additional gallery space to the exhibition, thus allowing for the display of many more works of art. The accompanying catalogue highlighting the talents of our students and the best practices of their teachers will be shared with the education, arts and business communities.

NEW THIS YEAR:
- All semi-finalists, their teachers and schools will be acknowledged in the P.S. Art catalogue.
- All semi-finalists' artwork will be posted on the DOE Arts Education website.
- Student/teacher comments are NOT required for initial submissions.
