Award display in Room 100, Atlanta Art Institute February 14 - February 27, 2010.	"We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the awards ceremony last night, it was a pleasure to see all of the student art and to see them rewarded for their efforts as well. We have gone to see the student exhibit at the Dogwood festival for many years and it was an honor to have our son's work chosen for this year's show. Having this competition available to the high schools is so important, especially since Art is not a priority in the public schools anymore and is often overlooked as a serious set of classes, making it difficult for a child to choose this field as a Major. Again, thank you for your efforts on all of these children's behalf." --Alida Lyman, parent 2009
"One of my students won best of show back around 1999 or 2000. It was his first art class and first real validation and encouragement as he didn't get much support from home regarding his art. He moved that summer and I lost touch with him, but recently reconnected online and found out that he had gone on to attend RISD and is a working artist in NYC now. I think that being in the exhibit that year helped him to see he should take his art seriously." --Dianne Bush, South Gwinnett High School	2010 award winners at The Art Institute event, February 25, 2010
"Meet the Artists" reception at the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art.
