Award-Winning Artwork of Forest Hill Alum Part of Nationwide Tour
March 7, 2019
Forest Hill graduate Brandon Miner received a Scholastic Gold Key Award and a National Gold Medal for his mixed media piece "Hear, Speak, and See" as a high school senior in 2018. Recently, the piece has been chosen by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers for its Art.Write.Now.Tour Exhibition. It was one of only 50 works chosen for the national touring exhibit. The tour showcases a selection of works from the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. It is intended to convey the issues of importance to today's youth as depicted in their artwork.
As a 2018 National Gold Medal winner, Miner had his work on display in New York City in the summer of 2018. He also received tickets to the National Awards ceremony held at Carnegie Hall that same year. It's worth mentioning that on the regional level, Miner received a second Gold Key award in 2018 for a work in photography that he titled "Proud and Bold in Monochromatic."
Miner is the son of Leslie and Ray Miner. He is currently enrolled at Hinds Community College where he is majoring in Photography/Film Media Production.
Miner was also profiled in the March/April 2019 edition of "Scholastic Art."
