The Derryfield School Visual Arts Department is thrilled to announce that 19 individual Derryfield Students, and a total of 29 winning pieces, have received recognition from the New Hampshire Scholastic Art Awards!

Since 1923, The Scholastic Art Awards have offered millions of students the opportunity to display their art works for regional and national recognition. The objective is to foster the confidence of young artists and to invite students to broaden their horizons with opportunities to receive national recognition. The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are the largest and longest running programs of their kind in the country.

Derryfield students work that was recognized includes 1 Middle School student, and 24 Upper School students. Their work was among nearly 1500 pieces considered from all over the state of NH.
