Distric Art show features pieces from all age levels, winners selected
An appreciative crowd of around 1,500 students, parents, staff and community members viewed student artwork at the district’s K-12 Art Show on April 10. Orange Tree Art Gallery Owners Norma Flatt and Tara Flatt-Ferguson and Director of Student Services Ed Marcell served as judges for the event. An art class scholarship was provided by Visual Expressions Gallery to Ramyha Torres, an Acton kindergarten student who was named the overall Creative Talent Winner for the district. She also received a plaque to celebrate her award.
Art show attendees had the opportunity to enjoy refreshments made by DHS Culinary Arts students, create their own pieces of artwork and receive free face painting. A complete list of winners is below. Click here to view photos from the event.
