Parrott Academy’s student artists have had their works chosen in record numbers for publication in the “Celebrating Art Anthology Fall 2021.”  This annual compendium of excellence in student art is sponsored by the Blick Art Materials company, a national leader in art supplies.

 Parrott placed first in North Carolina and second in the nation in numbers of student works chosen for the anthology, with 67 middle school student works and 46 high school student works.  Art teachers Samantha Rouse and Jana Miller said they have had submissions accepted by this publication in the past, but never in such a large number.
