13th Annual Student Expressions 2010
April 10 - 25, 2010
This annual student art show celebrates the creative spirit of young artists in the Park Schools Grades K through 12. District art teachers Valerie Bowles (elementary school), Nicole Rische (middle school) and Mary Nelson (high school) assembled this special collection representing 2 and 3-dimensional visual art works throughout the school year.
Over 200 works of art in 2 and 2 dimension and media will be on display at the CAC Fine Art Gallery located at 423 W. Elkhorn Ave. It is among the many exhibitions slated to celebrate the CAC's 20th anniversary.
Opening day Student Expressions activities will begin at 12:00 noon with cookies and the awards ribbons on the student's work. It is an honor to be selected into the annual arts show, and selection is done by Park District art teachers.
“The Cultural Arts Council’s mission is to enhance the quality and accessibility of visual and performing arts for people of all ages," states CAC director Lynda Vogel. “Hosting the annual district art show not only shares the accomplishments of our area youth with residents and visitors, but spotlights the excellent art education curriculum that is presented in Estes Park schools by its gifted faculty. Student Expressions is one of our crown jewels, and we are very proud to sponsor it each year”.
