US Bank’s Young Artists’ Competition

2020: “Imaginary Places”

U.S. Bank and Community Education invited the children and youth of Bowling Green and Warren County to participate in Community Education’s annual U.S. Bank Young Artists’ Competition.

This year’s theme was “Imaginary Places”. Warren County students in kindergarten through seniors in high school were encouraged to let their artwork show who they are, what they think about, dream about, or can imagine.

The winners will each receive VISA gift cards from U.S. Bank. “U.S. Bank has been a proud supporter of Community Education and the art competition for many years,” according to Shala Hudson, Executive Assistant for Community Banking. “We take pride in supporting and showcasing the artistic talents of the youth in our community. We know organizations like Community Education and the programs they provide support the ways children play and create, and we are committed to investing in the future of our communities.”

“We appreciate U.S. Bank for again supporting the creative expression of area students,” said Bill Oldham, Executive Director at Community Education. The deadline for entries was originally set for March 25 but was extended due to schools being closed for the COVID-19 pandemic. “The number of entries is down from past years, but we still had a good number of great works of art to choose from,” stated Oldham.

Community Education hopes to be able to display the original winning and honorable mention artworks at a branch of the Warren County Public Library soon.
