Heroes Gallery Opening a Huge Success

On Wednesday, January 12, 2011, the AVC National Art Honor Society chapter hosted the Hero Exhibit's gallery opening at the Freeport Arts Center. Over 80 local community members, families, former students, principles, superintendents, teachers and heroes attended our event. This was the largest student opening on record, according to the Freeport Arts Center.
Student artists mingled with guests, explained their artwork, and offered refreshments.
The artwork will now travel through seven local libraries and be on display until mid-May.
