An awards ceremony and reception was held on Sunday, November 13, 2005 for the 12th Annual High School Women Artists Competition. This year's show was the largest in its 12-year history. The exhibition featured the works of 121 artists from 38 high schools throughout the United States. The highlight of the afternoon was when the winning and honorable mention awards were announced in the Mooney Center's Romita Auditorium. A reception followed for the artists, artists families, and sponsoring teachers. It provided an opportunity for the artists to meet each other and discuss their work with members of the Art Department of the School of Arts & Sciences.

Congratulations & Best Wishes
To All Those Who Participated!

The annual High School Women Artists Exhibition was created to offer aspiring young female artists nationwide the opportunity to showcase their two- and three-dimensional works.  It is sponsored by the College’s Office of External Relations, Media & Photographic Services Department, and the Art Department of the School of Arts & Sciences.

The first Catholic college for women in New York State, The College of New Rochelle was founded in 1904 by the Ursuline Order. Today, it comprises the all-women School of Arts & Sciences, and three schools which admit women and men: the School of New Resources (for adult learners), the School of Nursing and the Graduate School.  The main campus of the College is located in lower Westchester County, 16 miles north of New York City.  The College maintains six other campus locations in New York City.
