Olympics of the Visual Arts

This year is the 30th birthday for OVA!
The Olympics of the Visual Arts (OVA) program provides an opportunity for students to participate in individual or group artistic problem solving. A new series of problems is posed every fall. Students create long-range solutions at their schools, and travel to the Albany area to compete on short-range problems in a day-long celebration of creativity. There are awards for each of the problem categories at every level.

Teachers who can't travel to participate in OVA are welcome to use the problems in their classrooms, conduct a "mini-OVA" in their own district, or sponsor regional events. Artistic problem solving is a great way to get students learning, experiencing and creating!

The 2012 Olympics of the Visual Arts will be held at the SARATOGA SPRINGS CITY CENTER, Saratoga Springs, New York on WEDNESDAY, May 2, 2012. Please note that this is a change from the originally advertised date.

Registration must be received by March 16, 2012.

The fee for participation is $150 per district regardless of the number of teachers, school buildings, or student participants. School districts with NYSATA District Member status receive a reduced registration fee of $100.

Contact Roger Hyndman, OVA Director with questions.
