    About Art Throwdown

    How it Started

    When Jeff Mather brought the idea to Grady High School's John Brandhorst, senior Perrin Turner (2009) spread the word to his peers and Brandhorst got the ball rolling. The Art Throwdown brings students from high schools across Atlanta to engage in a different kind of art competition.  The next Throwdown happens outdoors, in front of the AHSAE in the Dogwood Festival.

    "The idea is to bring high school artists together and really provide a live experience with visual art where friends, family, and the larger community can get a closer look at the creative process. Participating high school artists also get hands-on experience geared towards the next level of artistic expression and learning, whether that means attending college or working in a professional environment."  --Perrin Turner (2009)

    Is your school interested in sending a team to the AHSAE/Dogwood scrimmage?

    Email John Brandhorst, Throwdown coordinator, to get your school's name on the list:

    About Us

    History of the AHSAE

    AHSAE is an exhibition evolved from the "High School Art Exhibit" in the early 1970's Atlanta Arts Festival (known by many locals as the Piedmont Park Arts Festival), a two week celebration in the center of town.  The high school exhibit went through a few transitions including "Visual Vibes."  In 1999 Cheryl Myrbo envisioned a broader scope for the growing exhibit, bringing in arts center and museum sponsors from all over the region during the next 18 years.  Today AHSAE award winners earn opportunities to enhance their training and hone new skills in numerous Georgia arts centers and on college campuses.  Myrbo retired from the AHSAE in 2017. Becky Raffalovich has served as Director since 2018
