"This is a show we hosts every year, usually during March, as a way to help promote art in Parker County Schools," Vice President of Shows Kathy Cunning said. "March is nationally known as Youth Art Month...so this is a timely display."
Judges for the show were art instructors from the Fort Worth Art Institute, Carol Womack, and Leigh Ann Williams-Hickey.
The awards reception for the students, administrators, parents, and public will be March 28 at the Firehouse Gallery beginning at 6 p.m.
