Wetumpka High School students are leaving their mark on the state capitol in Montgomery.
For the past few years the students participating in the school’s art classes and art department have been visiting the capitol — but not just to look around.
“We have had the honor of hanging the State Superintendent Visual Arts exhibit in the capitol building,” WHS art teacher Adriane Duvall said. “It has truly been a privilege to showcase the incredible talent of our students.”
Under Duvall’s guidance, WHS students created art throughout the school year, some of which was selected to be hung in the capitol building. The art joins that of students from across the state. Wetumpka students traveled to the capitol to help hang the show for display and watch as State Superintendent Dr. Eric Mackey placed the Best in Show ribbon on a piece.
“Each year, the quality of the artwork submitted by students across Alabama is stunning,” Duvall said. “This year's exhibit was nothing short of spectacular. It is truly amazing to witness the creativity and skill that our young artists display.”
The show is free and open to the public. It will be on display until the end of February.
