The emerging artists of Lamar County High School rang in the final month of school with a showcase of talent on Thursday, May 1. Art teacher, Laurie Eurich, hosted students, family, friends, and community members at the event highlighting the work of her students across the spring semester.
Upon entry to the show, guests were immediately greeted by a unique twist – bigger than life, live paintings by several artists scattered throughout the hall. As guests moved through the displays, they could find a variety of media to include prints, drawings, paintings, ceramic sculptures, and more.
At the conclusion of the event, Eurich hosted a brief awards ceremony to recognize the effort and creativity of the featured students. The prizes for award winners were made possible by local businesses and art patrons in the area.
