Congratulations to the winners of the High School Art Show! Meghan Faye, District Art Coordinator from Kettering City Schools, selected this year's winners. She praised the experimentation and sustained investigation she saw in the pieces represented. Looking at this body of art opened a window to the artists worlds, and the subjects they chose highlighted their visual voice.
Thanks to the generosity of the Darke County Foundation, $1000 in cash prizes were awarded to the students.
