The Art Event is always big hit around the community, and this year was no exception. This year’s theme was “Spring Fever,” and it was more kid-oriented than ever.
Senior Amanda Oswald said, “We wanted to gear it towards kids so they’ll have fun and come back each year.”
The National Art Honor Society earned a chance to highlight its members by making a “Family Tree” that was displayed at the café entrance. The tree was decorated with birds and flowers; the birds were symbolic of all the senior members, and the flowers symbolized juniors.
Oswald was a very busy bee throughout the festivities, whether she was preparing for the event, working the front table, moving around, handling money, or selling t-shirts.
There were many Creation Stations at this year’s event, including stands entitled wheel training, pull tabs, face painting, button making, wood creators, yo-yo balloons, origami, hemp beading, potted flowers, soft animals, butterflies, cookie decorating, baskets, and tie-dye.
Many other attractions appeared, such as Sorrelli raffles, a photo booth, live music, used books, rocks and minerals, art/craft sales, and food.
This year’s entertainment was very diverse. Some singers included Abbey Porambo, Madison Rice, United We Fall, Seventh Corpus, It’s A Trap!, the Cast of Cinderella, Elizabeth Rhode, Sarah Miller, Sarah Fortna, Ben Burt, Abe Jacobansky, Nate Reinert, Section 8, Margeriete Malenda, Haley Barnshaw, and Sam Moran.
Alumni returned to see the underclassmen and old teachers and to have a good time.
The day was full of merriment, and every feature was family oriented. Each year, the art department strives to improve the event and make it more community-friendly so that more people become involved and remain excited for future events.
