MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM 8 AM TO 10 PM
AND SUNDAY FROM 10:00 A.M. TO 5:00 P.M. through APRIL 6th.
Student Awards and Teacher's Grants will be announced at the ceremony, Sunday, April 6th, from 1:30 - 3:30.
Palm Beach County art teachers submit their student's best 2-D or 3-D work to participate in our WITVA's Spring Celebration of High School Art. The student's work is judged for awards at different levels by a group of selected judges. This year the art was displayed in the halls and cases in the community center at Sugar Sand Park in Boca Raton, FL. where the awards ceremony was also held. This was the 28th year WITVA has awarded high school students in this manner and recognized their teachers. The awards are made possible by donations, our fundraisers and our members. This year our membership also donated gently used art books, tools & supplies for the students to choose and take home free of charge after the ceremony.

Dear WITVA,
Thank you so much for the grant to buy a cutting machine. It arrived in late August. It has been so wonderful. IT has helped me prepare for new and exciting projects for my students to assemble. Attached is a sample of our latest work
Thank you all so much for supporting teachers.
