The theme of this year’s festival is the natural environment. The art exhibition features many drawings of trees, animals and landscape paintings. Mosaics are also featured in the exhibition. This year, art students were given the option of creating a circular glass mosaic bistro table. Their tables will be on display as well. The glass used in the mosaics created by VHS art students was donated by S.A. Bendheim, a wholesale glass distributor in Passaic, N.J. Mr. Anthony Nicosia, a father of two VHS graduates, arranged this generous donation. Mirror and colored glass was also donated by Clinton Glass of Verona, N.J.
Art students will be demonstrating face and hand-decoration. Fused glass necklaces and earrings made in the art room, will be sold as a fund-raiser for the Verona Chapter of the National Art Honor Society. The proceeds from both these sales will go towards framing Carly Maestas’ landscape painting for our VHS front foyer gallery. Carly is a senior at VHS. She received a first place ribbon for her painting at Caldwell College’s Teen Arts Jam this past winter.
