The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, a nonprofit organization, identifies teenagers with exceptional artistic and literary talent and brings their remarkable work to a national audience through The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
The Awards have an impressive legacy dating back to 1923 and a noteworthy roster of past winners including Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, Joyce Carol Oates, Tom Otterness, John Baldessari, Zac Posen, Robert Indiana, Ned Vizzini, Myla Goldberg, and many more.
Calling all Scholastic Art & Writing Award winners ages 20 and up!
We are currently accepting artwork (drawings, paintings, photographs, prints, etc.) for Now.On.Paper, our annual fundraiser and auction on March 7th - featuring special guest Myla Goldberg, author of Bee Season and Scholastic Awards alum, with her band The Walking Hellos!
It is our goal to continually support and raise awareness of our alumni and we have found that one of the most effective ways to achieve this is to bring their work to the art world. We would be thrilled to include your work!
If you are interested in submitting work or would like more details, please join our Facebook event for the open call: now on paper: Call for Artwork!
