STUDENT LIBRARY ART 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 Middlesex County Arts High and Arts Middle School students, will be on display at the Highland Park Public Library, 31 North 5th Avenue, Highland Park, and at the North Edison Public Library, 777 Grove Avenue, Edison, for the month of January, 2016.

The exhibit features work completed by gifted and talented students who participated in the Middlesex County Arts High or Arts Middle School.  The programs, now in their 36th 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 Middlesex County.  Students, admitted to the program through audition, are released from their schools one afternoon each week during the spring semester to participate in the various courses that are taught by professional artists.

Works from 55 Middlesex County students were selected for the exhibit this year.
