ALEX ALAMPI AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN ART

The Salem County Art League is accepting applications from graduating Seniors from Salem County for the eleventh annual Alex Alampi Award for Excellence in Art. The deadline for submission for the $500 award is Friday, May 15, 2026. The application and more information about the award can be found at www.salemcountyartleague.com. Seniors applying for the award will need to submit the application form, an essay, a letter of reference, and three non-returnable samples of artwork.

The award acknowledges outstanding artistic talent demonstrated by a graduating senior art student in drawing, painting, sculpting, pottery, and/or other artistic media created by hand. The award is named in memory of Alex Alampi who was a lifelong resident of South Jersey and an award-winning artist. Alex Alampi wanted to give a glimpse of the beauty and history that resides in the meadows, creeks, and fields that we pass by every day. As a watercolor painter, Alex used a combination of beautiful transparent washes, strong composition, and crisp detail to create realistic and captivating paintings. Alex Alampi was one of the founders of the Salem County Art League. Alex passed away suddenly in September 2015.

For more information about the award, please contact the Award Chair, Annette Devitt at [email protected].
