Congratulations to the 30 University High School students who showcased their creativity at this year’s Carmel International Arts Festival, a juried two-day exhibition featuring professional artists from across Indiana and beyond. In addition to the professional awards, the festival also supports young artists by awarding scholarships to local high school students, and our Trailblazers stood out in a big way!
