I am always amazed at the end of the year when I have to make selections for the annual middle school art show, the St. Joseph ISD, and Partners in Art. My students are so talented and truthfully the art program at Sturgis Public Schools is top notch. All of the art teachers, at every level, are so dedicated to their profession and craft. The other night I had the pleasure of attending the Partners in Art celebration held at the Sturges Young Civic Auditorium. I hadn't been to the party for three years because we had parent teacher conferences on the same night, so being able to attend the exhibit was just wonderful.
Partners in Art is a program put on by the Sturgis Arts Council. Area art teachers select artwork from their students. These are matted and framed and then area businesses can rent them for a year. The rental cost is basically to pay for the framing. Students get their artwork back with the frame a year later. It is a wonderful program and a huge honor for any student that is fortunate enough to get selected.
I have put together a little video of the event so I hope you enjoy it.
