Update On North Florida Fair Art Submissions

Celebrating Success at the North Florida Art Show!

We are thrilled to congratulate each one of our artists for their outstanding achievements at the North Florida Art Show. Their dedication, creativity, and exceptional talents were showcased brilliantly, earning us a collection of well-deserved ribbons and accolades.

These ribbons proudly speak volumes about their remarkable artistic abilities and commitment to their craft. Participation and success in this event are a testament to the depth of talent within our art community at Maclay School with or without a ribbon just being chosen to represent our school and the Visual Arts Department is an honor.

And the results are listed below:

 2 Best In Shows (LS)

1^st place ribbons = 15

2^nd place ribbons = 12

3^rd place ribbons = 7

4^th place ribbons = 14

5^th place ribbons = 5

Honorable Mentions = 6

This remarkable achievement emphasizes why it's crucial for us to enter and participate in such contests. Not only does it provide a platform for showcasing their exceptional work, but it also inspires and motivates us to continuously strive for artistic excellence in our teaching methodologies as we keep up with the ever-changing trends in the arts.

This was an unexpected post, but thought it was worth the share to this budding artist! Goes to show you...you just never know who your art will speak too!

We love to show the students work in progress and a few behind the scenes excitement leading up to this art show!
