County visual arts show runs through April 19
Festival showcases work of high school seniors
MEDINA – The 2017 Medina County Visual Art Festival High School Senior Show runs March 8 to April 19 in the South Medical Office Building, Entrance D, 970 E. Washington St., Medina. Show hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This year’s festival opened its doors to over 230 works of art by 61 students. High school seniors who are students of Medina County visual arts teachers were eligible to participate, and both individual entries and portfolio entries were accepted. In addition to judging the scholarship portfolio entries, the Medina County Art League judged the non-scholarship entries and individual entries for first, second, and third place.
“We are delighted to partner with Cleveland Clinic/Medina Hospital and CBRE Group,” said Julie Krueger, Visual Art Festival coordinator for the Educational Service Center of Medina County.
“Cleveland Clinic/Medina Hospital takes pride in supporting the community and partnering with the area schools. We are honored to showcase the artwork of our local students in the South Medical Office Building,” said Dr. Thomas Tulisiak, president of Cleveland Clinic/Medina Hospital.
Additionally, the Medina County Art League presents four scholarship awards to the winners of its High School Seniors Scholarships Program during the festival.
Janet Baran, Medina County Art League Scholarship committee chair, said, “I taught art for 36 years before retiring recently ... I took on the scholarship committee because I truly miss working with students and seeing their world. I had three other judges working together with me, and we were bowled over by the quality and maturity of many of the works.”
