Every year, Rockport Center for the Arts hosts a statewide, juried exhibition for undergraduate and graduate students emerging in the visual arts. Cash prizes are awarded for first, second and third place.

Thanks to a generous donation from the Christopher and Jessica Giesey - Rising Eyes of Texas Scholarship Fund, submission fees are now just $5 for up to three artwork submissions. The Giesey family wants to support fledgling artists as they begin on their upward journey in the art world.
