Art Show Set for May 17-18 at Huntington High School
Art lovers take notice: The Huntington School District's annual art show will feature everything from painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics and computer graphics to advertising, fashion design, photography and video arts.
The show is set for Tuesday and Wednesday, May 17-18 in the high school's Louis D. Giani Gymnasium. Admission is free and open to the public. The exhibit will feature exceptional artwork created by Huntington students in every grade. The work will include all types of media and showcase the extensive opportunities available to students in fine and computer-generated art studies.
On Tuesday, May 17, a special fashion show consisting of student designs will be held at 4 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. Artwork of every possible type will be exhibited throughout the day from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
On Wednesday, May 18, 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.
Some of the works on display will carry ribbons of excellence, designating the piece as one of "high merit," in the opinion of the adjudicators. "Our teachers and students are looking forward to displaying some truly amazing work," Huntington Superintendent John J. Finello said.
On Tuesday, May 17, residents voting on the budget, capital reserve proposition and two trustee races can conveniently visit the art show either before or after casting their ballots. "It's a great opportunity to see the talent and creativity of our students," Mr. Finello said.
The district's art program has enjoyed a banner year as students have won awards in a long list of contests and shows. Each of these respective pieces will also be on display at next week's art show.
