Responding to this year’s theme Baltimore Bright, students have created and submitted work that will be considered as finalists for long-term display at the Eastside District Courthouse on North Avenue. From the finalists, a number of students will be selected by a panel of jurors made up of local arts and culture partners, as well as, representatives from local law offices, to receive CollegeBound Scholarships. Scholarship opportunities will be awarded to select participants based on creativity, originality, and artistic merit demonstrated in their submitted works. Additionally, the two top works by non-senior students will receive placements at Maryland Institute College of Art’s Young People’s Studio, for a summer or fall art program to hone their skills. The Courthouse Awards Reception will be held on Monday, May 20, 2024 at the Eastside District Courthouse from 6 to 7:30pm.
