Student artwork celebrated

This year’s Arts in USC contest celebrated artwork by students in kindergarten through grade seven. First, second and third place honors were awarded to student artists for each grade level at each school.

Community members typically have an opportunity to view the student artwork at the annual Arts & Chocolate Spectacular at the Community & Recreation Center; however, the event was canceled for this year. Artwork will be displayed within their respective schools later this spring.

This year’s contest featured two themes:

• "A World of Understanding, A World of Compassion" for elementary students in kindergarten through fourth grade
• “No Place for Hate,” coordinating with the schools’ efforts with the Anti-Defamation League, for middle school students in grades five through seven. 

Top artists are listed below.
