“Every year, I’m blown away by the originality and skill these students bring to the competition,” Kipp said. “It’s a true privilege to help create a space where their creativity is not only encouraged but celebrated.”
The public is invited to view the artwork from 10 a.m. to noon, followed by the judges’ critique and awards ceremony at noon inside LCC’s Zetmeir Family Athletic Complex.
Awards will be presented to the top artists in the following categories: Painting, Drawing, Digital Art, Mixed Media, 3D, Photography, Misc Art and Best of Show.
