At the start of the 2018/19 school year, New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU) invited Santa Clara County high school students to DARE themselves to create an original work that speaks to this definition: to have the necessary courage or boldness for something; be bold enough to have the boldness to try; venture; hazard to meet defiantly; face courageously to challenge or provoke (a person) into a demonstration of courage; defy Over 900 high school art students rose to that challenge and submitted artworks for juried selection in the 8th Annual ArtNow Exhibition, DARE.
Applications to the 2019 ArtNow exhibition are open to all Santa Clara County high school students, grades 9-12, public, private, and homeschooled. The exhibition opened at NUMU on March 21, 2019 with a student reception and awards ceremony. A professional development scholarship, and cash awards in several categories, including painting, watercolor and drawing, sculpture, and video art were awarded at the opening reception.
