Foundation Art Award

The Foundation Art Award is an annual competition sponsored by the Brightpoint Community College Foundation to showcase the artistic abilities of Brightpoint’s students. This contest occurs in two stages.

First, several finalists will be selected by a panel of judges from among the work entered during the submission period. The selected finalists will participate in an on-campus exhibition. From these exhibited works the Brightpoint Community College Foundation Board will select the Foundation Art Award winner.

The winner and all finalists will be invited to attend the Brightpoint Student Awards Night in Spring 2025, where they will be publicly recognized.
