Congratulations to all of the students who had art included in the Young Artist Showcase at Thistle Cottage, and special congratulations to the ribbon winners at the show!
The Young Artist Showcase is an annual exhibit co-sponsored by Muhlenberg County Public Libraries and the Muhlenberg Arts Council.
The show features Muhlenberg County students in grades K-8. Artwork is chosen by art teachers at the elementary and middle schools (a maximum of 10 pieces per grade from each school) to be displayed at Muhlenberg County Public Libraries’ Thistle Cottage during the month of March. All participants receive a certificate in honor of being chosen for the show. An anonymous local arts professional also reviews the work, and ribbons are awarded for the top pieces per grade.
A list of students who earned ribbons is featured below.
