ART.WRITE.NOW DC is an annual partnership with the U.S. Department of Education and the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities to bring stunning teen-produced work to our nation's capitol. This year’s AWN DC features two concurrent exhibitions at the DoED and at the PCAH featuring 2011 Scholastic Award-wining works and including a special exhibition of Hawaiian award winners.
