In April 2023, the West Shore Arts Council invited local Westshore middle and high school students to submit their artwork with descriptions to be used in this year’s WSAC Virtual Gallery.
This year we received drawings, photos, a story and a dance routine! The Arts Council reviewers were very impressed with the quality and variety of the artwork submitted.
Thank You to all of our participating artists in this year’s Virtual Gallery!
