Artist & Writer in Residence (A&WiR) is the Art Academy of Cincinnati’s free outreach and curriculum enrichment program that empowers educators and enhances the learning environment for students in grades K-12. Students in the A&WiR program are challenged to problem-solve through visual communication methods and develop their learning, focusing on the 21st-century skills of creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards is an art and writing competition for middle and high school students. Submit your artwork to be judged against other students from our region of Northern Kentucky, Southern Ohio, and Southeast Indiana.
