STUDENT LIBRARY ART EXHIBIT

MONMOUTH COUNTY ARTS HIGH AND ARTS MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT WORK ON EXHIBIT

Amid all the excellent books libraries have to offer, eyes may need a rest and gravitate to artwork hung proudly in the building.  This artwork, including paintings, drawings and photographs created  by Monmouth County Arts High and Arts Middle School students, will be on display at the Atlantic Highlands Public Library, 100 First Avenue, Atlantic Highlands, and at the Keansburg Waterfront Public Library, 55 Shore Boulevard, Keansburg, for the month of May, 2016.

The exhibit features work completed by gifted and talented students who participated in the Monmouth County Arts High or Arts Middle School.  The programs, now in their 12th year, offer advanced arts classes in creative writing, dance, instrumental music, vocal music, acting and visual arts to students from public private and home schools in Monmouth County.  The classes are taught by professional artists.

Works from 43 Monmouth County students were selected f the exhibit this year.
