All student work submitted must be made by hand by high schoolers during the 2022/2023 school year. Mingei welcomes all craft forms including, but not limited to clay, metal, jewelry, furniture design, glass, textiles, weaving, basketry, fashion design and craft-based mixed media.

HOWARD SCHOLARSHIP
The 2023 R. Stephen and Nancy D. Howard Scholarship has been established to financially assist students to continue their artistic interests as demonstrated in the Mingei Student Craft Exhibition. Early experiences in the creative arts have enhanced the Howards’ own professional and retired lives, and with this fund, they wish to encourage a similar interest in the arts that would carry on through life, regardless of career path, inspiring students to further their own innate creativity.
You can leave this video on your call site's homepage (or embed it on any page) for a quick tutorial your users can watch to help them with the submission process.
