Elementary, middle, and high school art teachers submitted work on behalf of their students. The entries represent more than 30 different area public and private schools. The dedication and professionalism of our area art teachers is evident in the quality of the student artwork on display in the gallery and the exhibition is stunning.

A public reception for the exhibition begins at 6:00pm on Friday, Dec. 1st in the City Hall Gallery, and lasts until 7:30. The awards ceremony will start at 6:30pm. It promises to be an evening of great pride for the students and awe-inspired admiration for those who see the exhibit.

The exhibit is now hanging in City Hall Gallery, 300 South Adams Street, second floor lobby of Tallahassee’s City Hall. The show will remain there until January 22nd, 2018. It is free to the public and open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Parking is available in Kleman Plaza.
