Blue Ribbons of Excellence Awarded at Art Show

A crowd of hundreds explored this year’s Huntington School District art show. Many were surprised to learn the work was created by students ranging in age from five to 18. The pieces on display covered just about every type of art.

The annual event is timed to coincide with the district’s budget vote and trustee election to maximize attendance. Voters were encouraged to visit the adjoining gym area where thousands of pieces of art awaited visitors.

There were also afternoon and evening fashion shows on Tuesday, May 20. Folks of all ages stopped to watch students display their designs on the catwalk.

The show utilized two-thirds of the Louis D. Giani Gymnasium. The exhibits were attractively displayed and the show itself was easy to navigate. Most agreed that there was something for everyone to appreciate.
