SPOTLIGHTS

Each year, Ivy Leaves honors two students whose work goes far beyond the expected boundaries of technical and creative performance. These individuals showcase exceptional commitment to craft in their respective disciplines, each producing work that is both impressive in concept and unparelleled in execution.

just technical merit

These creatives demonstrate commitment to imaginative exploration, wielding written word or visual expression in methods remarkable.

Our spotlights are a place where Ivy Leaves celebrates these artists, looking beyond the work to see the people through which these pieces came to be.
