What is NYSATA Olympics of the Visual Arts (OVA)?
NYSATA annually hosts a student creative problem-solving contest for teams across all 10 regions. Member art teachers serve as team advisors for student teams of 2 or more from elementary, middle or high school levels. Each team develops a long-term design solution in one of eight categories and also participates in an on-demand design challenge at the live event. Teams present a portfolio along with their entry to showcase the research, planning and process that led to the final design. This friendly and spirited competition among students across the state is a wonderful way for students to interact with other student artists and together celebrate creativity.
OVA relies heavily on our generous members and community volunteers who serve as planners, on site coordinators, and category judges. Please reach out to learn more and discover the excitement that is OVA. More about OVA https://www.nysata.org/olympics-of-the-visual-arts
