Published January 30, 2024
Both McKenna Aquino from Renaissance High and Emmanuelle Yuan from Ravenwood High received American Visions Award nominations. The American Visions and Voices awards recognize artists' originality, skill and the emergence of personal vision or voice. Judges from each region may select up to five works to be American Visions and Voices nominees. One nominee from each region will be selected to receive a National American Visions or Voices Medal.
"We are so proud of McKenna," said RNHS art teacher Colleen Thornbrough. "She is an outstanding artist and has had an incredible year so far. She is creative and skilled, and her work is beautiful."
Dozens of WCS middle and high school students also earned Gold Keys and Silver Keys at the competition. Each year, students across Middle Tennessee submit more than 1,500 works of art in a variety of categories. Gold Key winners will be considered for national awards, including Gold Medals, Silver Medals and scholarship awards.
