2014 DCSD Art Show is Just Around the Corner!

2014 DCSD District Art Show

"The purpose of the district art show is to bring together the Douglas County community to showcase teacher and student imagination, creativity and innovation."

It’s that time of the year again! We will be at the Outlets at Castle Rock in April 10^th-13^th, honoring our artists’ talents! As the member DCSD Art Curriculum Advisory Team- ACAT my duties include helping out organizing the elementary show for the DCSD schools participating this year. The art teachers set up April 9^th at 3 pm. We take our work down April 13^th between 4-6 pm.  This year we are super excited to be able to display K-12 artwork at the same time!  If you are interested in seeing some great student artwork from our district I encourage you to stop by! Hope to see you there!
