NYSATA annually hosts a creative problem-solving event in which student teams of one or more enter a long-term design solution in one of eight categories and participate in an on-demand design prompt. Teams present a portfolio along with their entry to showcase the research, planning and iterations that led to the final design. This friendly and spirited competition among students across the state is a wonderful way for students to interact with other student artists and together celebrate creativity.
The 2023 Olympics of the Visual Arts will take place in person at the Saratoga City Center, Saratoga Springs, NY on April 27, 2023.
