About the Exhibition:Presented by the ENMU Runnels Gallery, K through ENMU is an annual spring event celebrating art education and the achievements of art students. The juried exhibition is free to enter and open to public, private, or homeschooled students in kindergarten through their senior year of high school.
In 2024, we are pleased to present 151 selections of artwork for inclusion in the exhibition. The gallery received numerous submissions from schools and individuals from across the region.Each submission was reviewed using three criteria:
*First Impression (how powerful is the first impression?)*Creativity (to what degree of originality and creativity is the work?)*Artist’s Voice (is the artist’s voice heard and seen in the work, and can their perspective of the world be seen?).
Each division was evaluated for first, second, and third-place awards, and a Best of Show was selected from all submissions.
*Elementary Division (kindergarten–fourth grade)*Junior High School Division (fifth–eighth grade)*High School Division (freshman–senior)
