St. David School District Student Exhibition


Some of the works displayed in the library.
Art students and Art Club members from the St. David School District opened a three-day exhibition of their work Tuesday, May 15th in the school library.  The exhibition is open to the public from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Wednesday, May 16 and 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Thursday, May 17.
The Arts Council provided three jurors to judge the entries shown in the photograph to the right.  The lead juror is Bill Smith, Arts Council Treasurer.  Assisting Bill are member artists Rosemary Tyrrell and Elena Bennett (on the right).  Also shown next to Bill is Charlotte Taylor, vice principal and art teacher.

Judging was in three categories; painting, drawing, photography and sculpture.

Judges discuss criteria and categories with St. David art teacher.
Ribbons were awarded to outstanding art students judged within groupings by grade level.  Art Club members received additional training through artist workshops sponsored by the Arts Council.  The work judged to be the “Best of Show” will receive an “En Pleín Air” paint kit including easel, paints, brushes and other supplies supplied by the Arts Council.

Details of time, address and contact information are in the Events Calendar and “Upcoming Happenings” in the left sidebar.

Call for Artists

This is a call to all member artists who want to exhibit their work.  If you are not a member, you may join to benefit from this opportunity.

Cochise College, Benson Center requested the San Pedro River Arts Council to “keep artwork on display” in the College.  We seek member artists to display their work in either a one or two “(wo)man” show.  Additional information including exhibitor information and available months to exhibit are in our blog at http://sanpedroriverarts.blogspot.com/.

The Benson Center is an excellent venue to display your work.  Besides students and instructors, the College hosts many outside groups so your work will benefit from the exposure.

If you have any questions, please email Don or call (520) 686-0948.
