MartinArts hosted the 39th Annual Marvin S. Cone High School Juried Art Show on April 29, 2025, highlighting the creativity, talent, and artistic expression of high school students in Martin County.
Held inside the Courthouse Cultural Center’s professional gallery space, the event showcased a diverse range of student-created artwork across multiple mediums. Pieces were evaluated by experienced judges, with top selections earning ribbons and cash prizes.
During the awards ceremony, students were honored with Judges' Awards and Purchase Awards, recognizing both artistic excellence and potential. These awards not only celebrate the talent of our students but also affirm the strength of visual arts education throughout the Martin County School District.
