Since 1995, the O’Donnell Foundation and the Dallas Museum of Art have generously sponsored the Young Masters Exhibition. The Young Masters Fine Arts Exhibition will celebrate the creativity and skill of each grant program: AP Art History, Music Theory and Studio Art. Integrating all three disciplines at this prestigious event reinforces both the interconnectedness of the arts and the mission of the O’Donnell Foundation’s new incentive program, Create Schools of Excellence in Fine Arts Education.
The AP Fine Arts students will be invited to submit the following works:
- AP Art History – an original essay in response to a work in the DMA’s permanent collection
- AP Music Theory – an original four minute composition
- AP Studio Art – an original two-dimensional or three-dimensional art work
The final works and award winners for each program will be selected by a panel of artists, a panel of art historians, and a panel of musicians. DOWNLOAD 2012: AP Art History Submission Packet
