The exhibition opening is Sunday, April 27, 2025 from 1–4 pm.

This show is open to all K–12 students in Muskingum County including public school students, private school students, homeschool students, and students who take community or private art lessons.
This year, the ZMA and the City of Zanesville Mayor’s Office will honor student artistic achievement by awarding ten outstanding works of art from elementary, intermediate, middle school, and high school categories the museum’s Avant-Garde Award. Award recipients will receive a fifty-dollar prize presented at the exhibition opening. Also this year, one student will be awarded the inaugural Youth Ceramics Heritage Award. This award highlights student achievements in ceramics while also recognizing Zanesville’s heritage as the Clay City and the Pottery Capital of the World in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
The ZMA is excited to welcome Jill Crowe as this year’s guest juror for the 2025 K-12 Student Art Exhibition. Crowe, a Newark artist and educator, graduated from Newark High School in 1975 receiving the Outstanding Senior Art Student Award. She went on to Bowling Green State University receiving numerous art awards in college exhibits. She graduated in 1979 with bachelor’s degrees in fine arts and art education. Jill was hired that same year to teach art at Newark High School. She taught drawing, painting, art appreciation, design, commercial design, jewelry arts, and some ceramics and sculpture. It was a privilege and pleasure for her to work at Newark High School for 35 years. Jill retired in 2014 and continues to teach art classes for children and adults and offer private lessons. Jill hopes to continue offering art experiences and workshops to benefit special groups, some of which have included Breast Cancer, College Scholarships, Aging Programs, and the Licking County Humane Society. Jill is currently president of the Licking County Art Association and a member of Southeastern Ohio Watercolor Society and Ohio Watercolor Society. She also served as the juror for the 2024 Y-Bridge Arts Festival artist awards.
