Arts Fair!

 

 

 

The MCPS Arts Fair is this week! If you are a student whose work was chosen, you'll receive a letter on Tuesday.

 

Here’s the information you will need:

 

Arts Fair Dates: Tuesday, April 1 - Sunday, April 6, 2014

Times: Tuesday, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.

Sunday, 11:00 - 4:00 p.m. (please note the show comes down right at 4:00)

Place:  Lakeforest Mall (701 Russell Ave Gaithersburg, Maryland 20877)

 

The exhibits are arranged in alphabetical groupings according to school names. Elementary School exhibits start on the first level and continue to the second level. Middle School exhibits begin on the second level of the mall.  Our school’s exhibit is near Red Robin on the 2^nd level.

 

We were limited in the number of works we were allowed to display in this countywide exhibit, so I hope you share our pride in their accomplishment! J They demonstrated a level of thinking, a sensitivity to design elements, and an ability to persevere that enabled them to create show-quality work.

 

 

 

Sincerely,
