The Winter Festival Youth Art Exhibit 2010 showcases youthful talent and imagination through 85 pieces of student artwork. Forty-three elementary, middle, and high school art teachers submitted work on behalf of their students for the competition. And, the entries represent 33 different area public and private schools. The dedication and professionalism of our area art teachers is evident in the quality of the student artwork on display in the City Hall gallery. And the exhibition is stunning.
A public reception for the exhibition begins at 6:00pm on Friday, December 3rd, and lasts until 7:30. The awards ceremony will start at 6:30pm in the City Hall Gallery. Mayor John Marks has chosen one piece of artwork to receive the best in show, "Mayor's Award." It promises to be an evening of great pride for the students and awe-inspired admiration for those who see the show.
For nearly 20 years, the Council on Culture & Arts (COCA) has partnered with the City of Tallahassee’s Parks and Recreation Department to present the Winter Festival Youth Art Exhibit. It is one of a dozen exhibitions curated by COCA and is part of the City of Tallahassee’s Art in Public Places program.
