Six Randolph-Henry High School (R-H) art students and three Central Middle School (CMS) art students will receive cash prizes from the Museum of Charlotte County for their work currently on exhibit in the old courthouse on the Charlotte County courthouse square.

Art students from R-H and CMS submitted their work for a juried show. Judges were qualified public school art instructors. Art by students from Bacon Elementary, Eureka Elementary and Phenix Elementary Schools is on display but was not included in the judging.

The exhibit in the old courthouse of paintings, drawings and photographs by 88 students from all five Charlotte County public schools opened Saturday, Oct. 26, as part of the Celebration of Charlotte County’s Arts, Crafts and Rural Heritage sponsored by the Museum of Charlotte County.

The exhibit is open to the public on two Sunday afternoons, Nov. 24 and Dec. 1, from noon until 4 p.m. Museum of Charlotte County volunteers will serve as hosts and provide refreshments.
