VISUAL ARTS

Works of students representing area Catholic Middle Schools will be on display. Their work will represent a variety of mediums including paintings, pencil and charcoal sketches, 3-D, and various non-traditional art pieces such as folk art. The event identifies emerging talent and provides ‘Catholic School Week’ emphasis (a special week celebrated by all Catholic schools each January) on the role of art in these schools. Participating middle schools include: St. Hugh's, St. Lawrence, St. Rose of Lima, Our Lady of the Lakes, and Annunciation.
