The 2025 NSU High School Art Invitational Exhibition was held online, with the Facebook Live Awards Ceremony streaming on November 4, 2025. The top 50 entries were featured on the NSU Art Department Facebook page, where the top three awards were announced—1st place ($300), 2nd place ($200), and 3rd place ($100)—along with honorable mention certificates.

In addition to the exhibition, the NSU Art Department hosted its 32nd Annual High School Art Workshop Day on November 4, 2025. This workshop allowed students from each participating school to visit the NSU campus and take part in hands-on art sessions led by NSU faculty in media such as drawing, mixed media, printmaking, and digital art.

Selby Area High School is proud of all our participating students and their dedication to creativity and artistic excellence. Congratulations again to Brynnly Huber and Ella Perman for their outstanding representation of Selby’s art program!
