Often students create art just for a grade. Add a spark to their motivation and have them enter their work in our art contest. CelebratingArt.com was established to reward student artists and to showcase student art. Make art in the classroom, enter it in a contest and have the best entries displayed in an art book. A fridge can display art, but put art in a full-color hardbound book and you have a treasure.
