The Department of Visual Arts at Greenville Technical College is thrilled to announce the 36th Annual Upstate High School Art Exhibition (AUHSAE). 49 teachers from 25 Upstate high schools across 7 counties submitted 195 works from 182 students. The exhibition consists of 13 categories including traditional medias such as drawing, painting, and ceramics, but also specialized medias such as fiber, metals, and animation. AUHSAE is a true survey of the quality and variety of visual arts education in Upstate South Carolina high schools.

The 2026 AUHSAE Awards Juror is Elizabeth Snipes, professor in the Art + Design Department at Lander University where she teaches painting and drawing.

The AUHSAE cash awards and exhibition catalog are made possible through grants from the Jean T. and Heyward G. Pelham Foundation, the Elbert W.
Rogers Foundation, and . and the GTC Foundation provide additional funding. Thank you all for your generous support. (MAC receives support from the City of Greenville, BMW Manufacturing Company, SEW
Eurodrive, the South Carolina Arts Commission, and many other sources.)

On Wednesday, April 15, beginning at 6:30 pm, the 36th Annual Upstate High School Art Exhibition award winners and their schools will be recognized at the AUHSAE Awards Presentation in GTC's Benson Campus amphitheater. In the event of inclement weather, the presentation will move indoors to the commons area of Building 301. GTC’s Department of Visual Arts also produces an exhibition catalog picturing each award-winning work and listing all AUHSAE participants. The 36th AUHSAE catalog will be available for students and their teachers at the Awards Presentation.
