Cazenovia Student Art Show
at Library
An exhibit of art by Cazenovia High School
students will be at the New Woodstock Free Library March 12 through April 12.
The exhibit will be open for viewing during all regular library hours. A
reception for the student artists, their families and friends will be held
from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 9 at
the library. Refreshments will be served. The public is invited to attend.
The exhibit will include student work entered in the 2008
Citizens Bank Scholastic Art Awards contest and other works by Cazenovia High School students. The students are
taught by Julianne Frear, Bill Paben
and Adam Reynolds. Art teacher Mary Damon coordinates the exhibit as
presented at the New Woodstock Free Library, providing a viewing opportunity
for residents of the greater Cazenovia and New Woodstock area who could not
visit the scholastic art show at Onondaga
Community College last
month. The library has presented a local venue for the student works for more
than a decade.
According to WCNY, “Scholastic, Inc. was founded in
1927. The Central New York Region has sponsored an annual art competition for
over 55 years. Scholastic’s Art Awards Program is the largest annual
student art competition in Central New York
and nationally.
“Over 5,000 entries are submitted to the CNY
competition each year. Art awards are given in 19 categories of 2 and 3
dimensional media. Nationally, over 100 scholarships are offered each year to
qualified seniors. The CNY Region encompasses 13 counties and over 400
eligible schools. More than 60 professional educators, artists, and
photographers select the awards winners. Gold Key, Silver Key, and Honorable
Mention winners are recognized along with American Vision winners, Best of
Show scholarship winners and other cash award winners,” according to
WCNY.
The New Woodstock Free Library is open Monday through
Friday 1 to 5 p.m.,
Monday and Wednesday evenings 7 to 9
p.m., and Saturdays from 10 until 1. The library is also open
whenever the blue library symbol flag is flying out front. Children’s hour
