Protégé 2013

The Protégé Juried Student Competition and Exhibition, which featured works by high school students from Central Georgia, celebrated its tenth year as it returned to the Museum of Arts and Sciences. Working with local school systems, students entered work in the Competition, which was judged by an expert artist.
