Art Show Set for May 20-21 at Huntington High School
Ranging from painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics and computer graphics to advertising, fashion design, photography and video arts, the Huntington School District’s annual art show has something to meet every taste. The show is set for Tuesday and Wednesday, May 20-21 in the high school’s Louis D. Giani Gymnasium. Admission is free and open to the public.
“The exhibit will include outstanding artwork created by hundreds of Huntington students in every grade,” Joan R. Fretz, district director of fine and performing arts said. “The variety of work in all types of media, represent the extensive opportunities available to students in fine and computer generated art studies.”
On Tuesday, May 20, a special fashion show consisting of student designs will be held at 3:15 p.m. and again at 7:15 p.m. A video show will be featured at 4 p.m. and again at 8 p.m. There will be art demonstrations from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Art work of every possible type will be exhibited throughout the day.
On Wednesday, May 21, the exhibits will be open to the public from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Visitors are free to spend as much time viewing the show as they want on either day.
Many of the works on display will carry ribbons of excellence, designating the piece as one of “high merit,” in the opinion of the adjudicators. “Each year the community is stunned by the exceptional quality of the artwork in the show,” Huntington Superintendent John J. Finello said. “This year will be no different.”
Mrs. Fretz said the district’s art program “enjoys a fine reputation for excellence and state of the art course offerings. Our high school students are often the top winners in many of the local art competitions and exhibits.”
On Tuesday, May 20, residents voting on the budget, capital propositions and trustee races can visit the art show either before or after casting their ballots. “Please stop by to enjoy our celebration of the arts,” Mrs. Fretz said.
