OHHS Art and Design Student Ties for 3rd Place at the Inaugural From Heart to Art Exhibition!
Beech Acres Parenting Center, in collaboration with the Contemporary Arts Center, recently hosted the inaugural ‘From Heart to Art”, teen-centered 2D art competition celebrating creativity, community, and compassion. Area teens were invited to submit any 2-Dimensional form of physical art (drawing, painting, watercolor, collage, etc.) for the competition. A local panel of professional art enthusiasts will select winners at the ‘For the Love of Kids Festival’ in Washington Park.
The esteemed panel of judges: local artists Mike Colbert and Jim Effler, and the Contemporary Art Center’s Director of Education, Elizabeth Hardin-Klink were extraordinarily impressed by the depth of creativity and execution. There were close to 100 visitors to the ‘For the Love of Kids Festival’ booth this past Sunday voting for the “People’s Choice” award.
Congratulations to OHHS Art and Design student Lydia Wilson who tied for Third Place for this year’s Love Grows Here theme! Lydia will receive a $50 Visa Gift Card for her entry, “Flattering Fugglers”.
