YOUTH ART SHOW

For the second year, Danville Public Schools has partnered with Festival in the Park, Inc to host the City of Danville art show and contest during the weekend of Festival in the Park.  Several hundred art pieces were displayed in Ballou Recreation Center throughout the weekend for the community to see.  Guest judges made selections and winners were posted for students to view on Sunday of the event. Festival in the Park has been committed to hosting and supporting local arts for the region and this contest is one way it is able to fulfill its mission.
