High School Student Battle
2024 Versus 2D Champion Torin Andersen, 3D Champion Denise Irwin
Step up ringside as the area’s most talented artists create masterpieces in just 20 minutes. Artists compete in 20-minute rounds, and audience members will cast their People’s Choice votes in the first three rounds of competition to identify two finalists in each medium. A panel of professional jurors will judge the final two rounds featuring the 2D and 3D finalists and award an overall champion in each medium. The winning artists will receive the coveted prize of a joint exhibition in the stunning Gladys & Karl T. Wiedemann Gallery in 2026.
