Student artwork on display at libraries

The paintings, drawings and photographs created by Monmouth County Arts High and Arts Middle School students will be on display during June at the Manasquan Public Library, 55 Broad St., and the Oceanic Free Library, 109 Avenue of Two Rivers, Rumson.

The exhibits feature work completed by 43 gifted and talented students who participated in the Monmouth County Arts High or Arts Middle School. The programs, now in their 12th year, offer advanced arts classes in creative writing, dance, instrumental music, vocal music, acting and visual arts to students from public, private and home schools in Monmouth County. Students, admitted to the program through audition, are released from their schools one afternoon each week during the spring semester to participate in the various courses that are taught by professional artists.
