This year, Arts Connect, in partnership with the Bluegrass Complex of Wells Fargo Advisors, introduced the first

Fayette County High School Holiday Painting Competition.
​
Almost fifty Letters of Intent to participate were received and every Fayette County High School was represented.
The students responded to Arts Connect "Call to Artists". 
Their work was to be specifically themed around Kentucky and the December holidays.
Thirteen young artists submitted their finished work for consideration.
Judging was done anoymously by a panel of seven individuals from the local arts community.
There was a criteria and a point system to determine merit.
Enjoy the slideshow below of all the amazing competition entries.
