student exhibit

The Algonquin Area Public Library District Silver Squirrel by Carter Pickeringwill host the Village of Algonquin’s Student Art Exhibit at the Harnish Main Library from April 1 through April 20.

The 6th Annual Student Art Exhibit is organized by the Village’s Public Arts Commission and features artworks created by local middle school students in a variety of media such as painting and drawing. Participating schools include Algonquin Middle School, Dundee Middle School, St. John’s Lutheran School, St. Margaret Mary Catholic School, and Westfield Community School.

The Commission recognizes “Best in Budding Beautify by Madison MaddenShow” winners from each school. The overall prize in design and execution is awarded the Richard A. Rehwaldt Memorial Award, in honor of the late community arts supporter and former Algonquin Public Arts Commission member who helped develop the Village’s first student art exhibit in 2012.

The Library is pleased to host this Night Cats by Makayla McCoyyear’s exhibit and invites the public to view the students’ works during regular library hours.
