Cloud County Community College’s annual high school Art Show will be Friday, April 7, in Arley Bryant Gymnasium on the Concordia campus.
Students from area high schools will have various pieces of artwork on display in the gymnasium. The public is welcome, free of charge, to view the pieces from 9:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. The public will also have the opportunity to vote for the Viewer’s Choice award.
Throughout the morning, students will participate in breakout sessions that will include a sidewalk chalk competition, digital photography, ceramics, logos and graphic design, collage painting, and wheat weaving. Workshop instructors will be Todd Leif, Kathy Schmitz, Cody Schmitz, Ryan Boyer, and Dianne Gardner.
During the art show, categories that will be judged include painting, drawing, printmaking, graphic design, digital and traditional photography, ceramics, mixed media, sculpture, textiles, and the sidewalk chalk art. A new event this year will be a high school video and yearbook competition.
