Last year, students submitted nearly 340,000 works of visual art and writing to the Scholastic Awards; nearly 90,000 works were recognized at the regional level and celebrated in local exhibitions and ceremonies. The top art and writing at the regional level were moved onto the national stage, where more than 2,700 students earned National Medals. National Medalists and their educators were celebrated at the National Ceremony at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

This year at Aspen we have three students that have won at the New Mexico Scholastic Art Awards. Chance White has won two Gold Keys, one for her mixed media piece and one for her linoleum print. She also won a Silver Key in painting. Ethan Ayoub has won a Gold Key for drawing as well as a Silver Key for drawing. Elijah Friday has won two Silver Keys, one for drawing and one for painting as well as an Honorable Mention in drawing. These works will be displayed along with some of the best  7-12 grade artwork from around the state. Their work will be shown at Warehouse 508 in Albuquerque and there will be an awards ceremony on March 21, 2020.
