Award display in Room 100, Atlanta Art Institute
February 23 - March 7, 2009.
"We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the awards ceremony last night, it was a pleasure to see all of the student art and to see them rewarded for their efforts as well. We have gone to see the student exhibit at the Dogwood festival for many years and it was an honor to have our son's work chosen for this year's show.
Having this competition available to the high schools is so important, especially since Art is not a priority in the public schools anymore and is often overlooked as a serious set of classes, making it difficult for a child to choose this field as a Major.
Again, thank you for your efforts on all of these children's behalf."
