Art Challenge and Show on the Lawn at Shore History

Shore History invited all ESVA school students Grades 6 – 12 to create artwork to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. Inspired by the question: “What Does Americas 250th Mean to Me?” 

The entries were judged and scholarship prizes and ribbons were awarded at a reception in May. Their works are entered into this Art Show so they can have the opportunity to show and sell their work and receive further awards. Local artists also joined the celebration during a June Paint Out, inspired by the same question. Their artwork will be displayed alongside the student entries as part of the show.

Visit & Vote on June 13  11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
