Fall 2024 Tri-County High School Art Exhibition Winners

The Tri-County High School Art Exhibition is a very competitive event sponsored by the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art and Art History at Wayne State University. High school students from Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties submitted pieces of artwork for adjudication, and jurors selected 120 works to be featured in the final exhibit. Bloomfield Hills High School did incredibly well, with 18 pieces of artwork accepted to the exhibition.

In addition to the students recognized for their outstanding artwork, Bloomfield Hills High School art teacher and visual arts department chair, Matthew Beauchamp, won the Teacher Award.

At the awards reception on November 8, Magnus Jurtz (grade 12) won an honorable mention for the print "Wochenmarkt." Dylan Psenka (grade 12) won first place for the ceramic sculpture "Deep Sea Sanctuary."

The exhibition is open to the public now through November 22. Artwork can be viewed at the Art Department Gallery of Wayne State University, at 150 Art Building, 5400 Reuther Mall, Detroit, MI 48202.
