Friends University Art Challenge 2025
After a brief hiatus due to Covid-19, we are excited to inform the community that the high-school juried competition, Art Challenge, will be returning to Friends University Campus!
What is Art Challenge?
Art Challenge is a juried art competition and workshop open to all Kansas high school juniors and seniors, hosted by Friends University Fine Arts. Throughout the day, students can take part in up to two art challenges, participate in a scavenger hunt for prizes, sit in on a guest artist presentation, go on a tour of the Friends University campus and talk to current Art & Design Friends University students about their own Friends Falcons experience!
An award ceremony in Sebits Auditorium will mark the conclusion of Art Challenge.
Winners of the competition will be awarded Friends University scholarships!
The event will take place on Friday, March 7, 2025 in the newly renovated Riney Fine Arts Center, and Art & Engineering Labs, located in the William Penn Science Building.
Guest artists, from the local artist community, will work directly with Art Challenge students on their design process. Artworks will be ranked according to each medium, and there will be first, second and third place winners in each category. All of the work submitted and created for Art Challenge will be on display in the new grand entrance to the Riney Fine Arts Center for all to see!
To enter, students must upload a digital image and title card of their work. Submissions must be received no later than xxx. Late submissions will not be eligible for the awards.
