Each high school in the region was invited to submit up to eight works of art for the show, according to Tina LaMour, associate professor for art and chair of NCCCís Fine Art and Graphics program.

ìWe’re excited to once again showcase the art work of so many talented high school students in the North Country,î LaMour said. ìThere’s a great range of submissions this year including paintings, photography and sculpture. There is some high-caliber work coming out of the high schools.î

The show features the work of 74 students representing the following high schools: Parishville-Hopkinton, Plattsburgh, Moriah Central, Salmon River, Ticonderoga, Elizabethtown Lewis, Madrid-Waddington, Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, Norwood-Norfolk and Franklin Academy.
