Arts Signing Day and Arts Educator of the Year Award

The Arts Signing Day is an evening to recognize Tuscarawas County high school seniors who are pursuing their education and careers in the arts, culture, and creative-based fields. Over the past eight years, TAP has recognized over 125 students through the Arts Signing Day event, with students ranging in their educational and creative pursuits from studio art to theater technology to arts education.

Whether you want to be an artist, musician, culinary arts chef, graphic artist involved in marketing, audio and visual technology manager in theaters, or anything in your creativeness, we want to celebrate you!

This year, we’re excited to introduce the Emerging Artist Scholarship, awarded to two students selected by a panel of arts professionals. Seniors can apply through an optional application and may submit a portfolio, video, images, or writing sample to showcase their work.

Register 4/1/26-4/22/26

Student Registration

Our Arts Signing Day students learn from their educators, and the teachers go above and beyond to provide quality arts education for our students. Nominations are open to the public to nominate who should be Arts Educator or the Year.

Was there an art teacher who helped their students excel in their drawing skills? Did a theater teacher organize a production that the students had fun participating in? How did the band teacher help their students to practice and perform their instrument with confidence?
