The IHSAE is dedicated to fostering an appreciation and expression of the visual arts among city, suburban, public and private high school visual arts students. To do this, the IHSAE provides competitive exhibition opportunities, promotes post-secondary education opportunities, connection opportunities for the artistic community, and celebrates the importance of art education. All of this ultimately finds its purpose in reinforcing the power of art in our students’ lives.
GENERAL EXHIBITION:March 6, 2016Zhou B. Art Center
 The IHSAE’s General Exhibition is a “Best of the Best” high school art competition developed to recognize students for their artistic excellence. The General Exhibition features some of Illinois’ top Visual Arts talent. Each year, over 100 city, suburban, public and private high schools participate from across the Chicagoland area. Schools enter over 2500 student works of art into 5 categories: (1)Drawing, (2)Painting, (3)Photography, (4) Three-Dimensional, (5)Graphic Design and (6)Time Arts for adjudication. IHSAE judges select 500 individual artworks that best represent these categories to be on display at the Zhou B. Art Center in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood, on Sunday, March 6th 2016. The 500 student artists selected will then have the opportunity to compete against each other for over $15,000.00 in IHSAE awards and scholarships.  The show opens from 2-6 PM on March 6, 2016 and the awards ceremony is at 3:30 PM.
