Exhibit Features Middle School Artists

Jan. 20, 2012 ~ Spring has sprung throughout the halls of the district's Education Center, as paintings of flowers, butterflies and peaceful gardens populate the latest student art exhibit. The middle school exhibit will continue through March 2.

The hallways are transformed several times a year with new exhibits featuring artwork by students of different ages. The next exhibit at 14160 Black Bob Road will highlight works of high school students, beginning March 9.

The public is welcome to view the exhibits of 2D and 3D works during regular business hours.
