Art students from Norwalk Public Schools were recognized by the Connecticut Regional Scholastic Art Awards for their work in photography, drawing and illustration, sculpture and painting.

Winners who received either an Honorable Mention, Silver Key, or Gold Key Award were included in the CT Regional Scholastic Art Awards Exhibition, which took place at the Hartford Art School Silpe Art Gallery at the University of Hartford. A virtual award ceremony will be held on Saturday, February 12 from 2 to 3pm.
