An awards ceremony will be held on First Friday, April 7, from 5PM-8PM with over $2,000 in college financial awards presented to the First, Second and Third Place winners at 6PM. Honorable mention awards will also be presented with each winner receiving a scholarship for classes at the Canton Museum of Art. Also, during the First Friday event, a free Make & Take project will be available to kids and adults, a special Edge Dance Performance by students from the Jackson School for the Arts, and a one-night exhibit of Stark County 4th Grade students from the CMA Museum-to-Go program will be on view in the classrooms.
