York College of Pennsylvania's annual York Community Art Scholars Exhibition (YCASE) celebrates the art produced by area high school students. Those who participate in the programs are eligible for cash awards, gift certificates to downtown York arts venues, and one $20,000 DelliCarpini Community Art Scholarship to study an art-related field at York College.
The program will begin with an Art Walk, a series of exhibitions in downtown York featuring work from local high schools. Participating high schools exhibit their student artists' work at art galleries and other shops in the downtown York arts districts. These locations will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Thursday, Oct. 24, to Saturday, Oct. 26.
A reception for the Art Walk will begin at 6 p.m. on Oct. 24 at Marketview Arts, 37 W. Philadelphia St., York. Celebrity guides, including York city economic development specialist Sharee McFadden and York Revolution creative director Cody Bannon, will lead participants on tours of the exhibitions between 6 and 7 p.m. Independent tours are also encouraged. Exhibition sites will remain open until 8 p.m.
Work selected from the Art Walk by juror Kristen Letts Kovak will be featured during the YCASE Finalist Exhibition from Friday, Nov. 1, to Saturday, Nov. 23, on the third floor of Marketview Arts. The theme of the exhibition is identity. Kovak will also exhibit her work on the first floor of Marketview Arts from Nov. 1 to 23.
All YCASE events are open to the public free of charge. Additional information is available at http://www.ycp.edu/YCASE.
