Hillsborough Community College Dale Mabry Campus and Gallery 221 present
the Calyx Schenecker Art Infinitum, the 14th Annual High School Fine
Arts Competition from April 7-26. An awards reception will take place
from 6-8pm on Thursday, April 10. Scholarships will be awarded to nine
students in three categories: 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional and
photography. An additional nine students will receive honorable mentions.
Hillsborough Community College has hosted the county-wide fine arts
competition showcasing the artwork of students in public and private
high schools for the past thirteen years. The juried competition gives
students an opportunity to be recognized for their contributions to the
visual arts.
A generous gift from the Calyx and Beau Schenecker Memorial Fund has
been created to sustain this longstanding relationship between
Hillsborough County High Schools and Hillsborough Community College. The
Calyx Schenecker Art Infinitum honors a talented, young artist,
excellent student, and athlete who tragically passed away in January
2011.
“My family and I are honored to partner with HCC to give extremely
talented young people an opportunity to exhibit their work to the entire
community. I can't think of anything Calyx would have loved more than to
have her name associated with this great event," said Parker Schenecker,
Calyx's father. "The chance to let the Tampa Bay community know Calyx
better through the arts is a gift to me and those who loved her."
The Calyx Schenecker Art Infinitum is showing on the 3rd floor of the
HCC Dale Mabry Campus library (one floor above Gallery 221) through
April 26.

The Calyx and Beau Schenecker Memorial Fund was established in early
2011 by their father with contributions from family, friends and the
Tampa Bay community to ensure their legacy endures by providing
leadership, athletic, culinary and visual arts opportunities for
deserving Tampa Bay area students. For information on or contributions
