In the second half of the day, students will compete in fast-paced, creative challenges across a wide range of media—from chalk murals and figure drawing to sculpture and fashion design. These throwdowns are designed to be fun, collaborative, and creatively intense.

Lunch will be provided at one of the University of Georgia’s dining halls, giving students a chance to relax and connect with peers from across the state.

Students are invited to submit original artwork for the Pin Up Art Show, an exhibition celebrating student voice and vision. As well as other scholarship opportunities.
