he Arts Council of Windham County has been sponsoring an annual celebration of young artists in our community with exhibitions and art shows during March each year since 1980.

This year Student Art Month will feature two shows of High School artists from March 5 to 31.

2D works will be on display at the Robert H. Gibson River Garden (157 Main Street, Brattleboro). 3D works will be exhibited at Vermont Artisan Designs & Gallery 2 (106 Main Street, Brattleboro).

There will be an exhibition of elementary school art at Brooks Memorial Library from March 6 to 31.

These shows provide the opportunity for Windham County art teachers to display their students’ works at libraries, businesses and storefronts throughout the county. In so doing, the Arts Council is recognizing the importance that art plays in the lives of young students and is fulfilling an important aspect of its mission to promote the arts as a vital part of the life, education and economy of Windham County through active collaboration with the creative, business and educational communities.

The High School Poster provides information about this year’s high school shows and presentation of Best in Show Awards in eight different categories.

Presentation of Awards will take place on Friday, March 5 at 7:30pm at Vermont Artisan Designs & Gallery 2.
