CALL TO STUDENT ARTISTS IN WELLINGTON’S ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

For the past two years, the Village of Wellington and the Wellington Art Society presented the “Student Art Program”, exhibiting the artwork of elementary, middle and high school students in Wellington. These works of art were on display for a four-month rotation throughout the year.

Embarking on the program’s seventh exhibition, the Village of Wellington and the Wellington Art Society are once again asking elementary school student artists who attend Wellington schools or live in Wellington, to submit their work for selection. 

This next exhibition will begin at the end of May and will run through September, 2008.  Student artists who are interested in participating in the elementary school exhibition are asked to please deliver their artwork to the Wellington Community Center (12165 W. Forest Hill Boulevard) on May 15, 2008 between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.  The artwork will be judged and selected by the Wellington Art Society.  

Information and entry forms with program dates and guidelines are available from the Wellington Art Society (561-795-1691), the art teachers of Wellington’s schools, and on the Village of Wellington’s website (www.ci.wellington.fl.us).

The Village of Wellington Parks & Recreation Department is creating tomorrow’s community today by offering quality programs as a 2007 Florida Recreation and Park Association Excellence Award Agency.

Mayor Darell Bowen, Vice Mayor Dr. Carmine Priore along with Council Members Lizbeth Benacquisto, Bob Margolis and Matt Willhite, are pleased to bring exciting and innovative programs to the Village, always looking for ways to improve services for all its residents.  For information on other Village programs, events, and activities, please visit the website at www.ci.wellington.fl.us or watch Channel 18 for the latest Village happenings.
