Hennepin Co. Student Art Contest

From Hennepin County:

Hennepin County is sponsoring a student art contest in partnership with the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Students in grades 6-12 who live or attend school in Hennepin County are invited to enter the contest. Winning art will be honored and exhibited at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.  

This year’s theme - Belonging Begins Here: Our Stories, Our County, and Our Pride – invites students to explore the meaning of belonging through a personal and local lens. 

The program encourages participants to reflect on their identities, communities, and shared spaces that foster inclusion and connection. Students will highlight stories, landmarks, and cultural touch points within their districts that bring people together or represent sources of pride. 

Contest submissions are being accepted now through Sunday, Jan. 4.
