“About STARS | State of Tennessee Art Review and Showcase”
The TAEA STARS Elementary Exhibition showcases artwork created by K - 5th grade students across Tennessee. A panel of judges carefully select specific pieces and then evaluates each work based on alignment with official state visual art standards, techniques, personal expression, and organization. These works represent the first-, second-, and third-place submissions in each grade level and include an overall “Best of Show.”
