A McCulloch Junior High School student recently earned a national award in the annual Scholastic Art and Writing competition.
Tallulah Gibson, MJH 8th-grader and a CSA Arts Academy student, was awarded a National Silver Key in the sculpture category at national level competition for her piece titled “Cuddle Bug”.
Tallulah’s art advanced to the national competition by earning the highest regional honor, a Gold Key. The piece also received a juror’s award at the regional level. She also was awarded a Regional Silver Key for her drawing “Spark of Joy”.
Above, Tallulah Gibson's national award-winning sculpture "Cuddle Bug" can be seen on display at the Fort Wayne Museum of art.
These art works, along with several others from award-winning Marion students, are on display through April 12 at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. FWMoA displays the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards honorees for the region, which encompasses 52 counties in northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio. Hours and admission costs can be viewed online at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art’s website.
Tallulah is only the fourth Marion Community Schools student to earn a national Scholastic Art award since 2013, though many more have earned top regional awards over the years.
