2015 was the 32nd year of student art shows at this museum and the 6th year of being part of the national Scholastic Art Awards.
The Willamette Valley Scholastic Art Awards is open to fine arts, crafts and literary students grades 7-12 from entire Willamette Valley School District who submit art, to juried competition.

Our talented teenagers follow in the footsteps of Andy Warhol, Richard Avedon, Robert Redford, Philip Pearlstein, David Salle, Robert Indiana, Tom Otterness, and Zac Posen, who all won Scholastic Art Awards when they were in high school.
In 2014 Woodburn senior Alphonso Calixtro earned local and national awards and went on to earn a full scholarship to the Parsons The New School for Design in New York City. His story was told in the Oregonian in May 2014 http://www.oregonlive.com/education/index.ssf/2014/05/outstanding_woodburn_artist_al.html
