This year’s iCreate is a virtual exhibition. The iCreate exhibition is an annual juried competition that showcases the talents of an emerging generation of artists. With a final selection of 46 artworks from over 620 submissions across 46 high schools throughout Connecticut, and New York, iCreate exemplifies a breadth of themes and styles. In addition to providing a venue for youth expression, iCreate seeks to instill confidence in participating artists and offer the public a glimpse of the unbounded genius contained within creative young minds.

Visit the iCreate website to view the artists chosen for first place, second place, and third place prizes. In addition, three honorable mentions were awarded, and for the first time, an award for video animation was part of the generous cash awards. Moreover, this is the third year a student was selected to win the Berkley One Award. These awards were made possible thanks to the generosity of the exhibition sponsors. The People’s Choice Award welcomes you to vote for your favorite artist. Choose any of the students featured in the video that participated in this year’s iCreate. Assessing art is regarded as so subjective that ultimately the decision you make will be simply a matter of personal opinion. Please view all the participating artists and select your favorite. Final day to vote is Friday, September 10, at midnight. The winner will be announced September 12, 2021 at noon on the Bruce Museum Facebook page, Instagram, and iCreate2021.com. The People’s Choice Award winner will be awarded $250.
