In partnership with the Krewe of Orpheus, the 2016 Art Contest is open to all Louisiana high school juniors and seniors who wish to submit an original work of art for the theme “Louisiana Celebrates Carnival.”
Fifteen student finalists will share $45,000 in college scholarships! The overall winner will have their artwork turned into the official 2017 poster for the Krewe of Orpheus and be invited to ride in their 2017 parade! Learn More.
For the past eight months, the original artwork from our 2015 Scholarship Art Contest has been on tour at museums across Louisiana in Alexandria, Shreveport, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette. Tomorrow, “Louisiana’s Music” makes its final stop in New Orleans, where it opens at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art.
The exhibition features 15 original pieces from Louisiana high school juniors and seniors and celebrates the dynamic musical heritage of the state. These talented students shared $45,000 in college scholarships through the 2015 Art Contest.
