A Scholastic portfolio consists of 6 works of art that have a cohesive theme showing the vision and talent of the artist, the culmination of 4 years of art, and is accompanied by an artist’s statement. Mphatso Phiro was 1 of only 12 National Silver Medal portfolios awarded this year. This award also comes with a $1000 Cash Scholarship.
Eitan Polanco and Yaninne Tapia Salas won 2 of only 50 Honorable Mention portfolios awarded this year.
These National Medal Winners will receive their medals shortly and all Gold Medalists and Silver Medal Portfolio winners are invited to Carnegie Hall to be honored in the National Ceremony in June.
