Warwick Valley School District’s Art Show and Chair Auction set for May 12
WARWICK — This year's integrated K-12 “Rock-n-Roll Art Show” is at Warwick Valley High School on Friday,May 12, at 5 p.m.
The event is sponsored by the school district's Art Department and the Warwick Art Club Boosters.
Student art work will be on display throughout the Main Lobby, Old Gym, North Café and adjoining hallways.
The district-wide art show will consist of works from kindergarten through 12th grade.
The popular “Newspaper dress” Fashion show is at 6:30 p.m.
The eighth annual “Chair Auction” in the high school auditorium begins at 7:15 p.m.
The auction benefits the scholarship fund for WVHS seniors who plan to pursue art in college.
For this event, students have taken an ordinary chair, and over the course of several months, transformed it into a work of art.
The chairs are auctioned off to the public with all proceeds going to graduating seniors in the form of scholarships.
The chairs are painted in a style of an art movement, technique or a particular artist.
The junior and senior art portfolio class and other juniors and seniors, as well as art department faculty members, will be participating in the event.
The chairs will be on display before the auction in the high school lobby.
The 20+ chairs range wildly in style – Harley Davidson, I Love Lucy, Marilyn Monroe, Mosaic and Viking are just a few of the themes.
