Congratulations to Magnet senior Anna Miley for being named a finalist in the George Rodrigue Art Scholarship competition for 2023. Out of 456 entries, Anna’s painting is one of five selected to compete in the Senior division. The theme for this year is “Out of the Box”.  Anna’s abstract depiction of jazz musicians is titled “Encore in the Quarter”.

Contest judges selected 10 finalists (5 Juniors & 5 Seniors) to share $19,000 in college scholarships. Following the Scholarship Awards Luncheon (March 25th at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel), the winning entries will travel on public view for one year as an exhibition at museums and cultural venues across Louisiana.

The Annual Scholarship Art Contest is a unique way to honor the legacy of George Rodrigue while celebrating the talent and creativity of Louisiana high school students. Since the first Art Contest in 2010, GRFA has awarded over $580,000 in college scholarships through this program, providing much-needed financial support for young people pursuing higher education.
