About the Central New York Art Region

The Central New York (CNY) region has conducted an annual Scholastic Art Awards program for more than 60 years. Our region covers a very large geographic area – 13 counties and almost 400 eligible schools in CNY. For most of its history the program has been held in the city of Syracuse. For the past several years, we have drawn approximately 200 teachers from between 80 to 100 individual schools, consistently receiving nearly 5,000 individual pieces of art, making our program one of the largest in the country. We draw entries from across our region, not just the immediate Syracuse area. More than 70 professional artists, educators and photographers select award winners during the judging process. We present over 800 awards each year, and those winning pieces and portfolios will be on display throughout the Whitney Applied Technology Center at Onondaga Community College for 5-6 weeks following our award ceremony.
