What is “Off the Wall”?
The highly anticipated Off the Wall competition returns for its 19th year! Each year the area high school students are invited to share their talent by participating in a high school art exhibit and competition sponsored by Lockheed Martin. The exhibit includes student work in the following categories: Art & Technology, Painting/Drawing, Poetry, Wearable Art, and our newest category: Photography! Each category is adjudicated by a professional in the field.
This year we received over 200 submissions from 154 students! 39 students artists made the cut for a total of 44 pieces of art for this year’s exhibit and competition.
Congratulations to all of the winners!
