Twelve Daleville City Schools students submitted art work to the statewide juried art show and the work of each of them earned a place in the state display for their respective categories.
Each year, the Alabama Superintendent of Education sponsors a statewide student art show for all students in the first through 12th grades.
Educational Specialist for fine Arts Andy Meadows coordinates the event for all of local education districts. This exhibition is made possible by the Alabama Arts License Tag Grant, a program that promotes the arts in Alabama— especially arts education—including visual arts, folk arts and performing arts programming.
A six-person volunteer committee governs the program. One member each is appointed by the Alabama State Council on the Arts, the Alabama Arts Alliance, the State Department of Education, the governor, the lieutenant governor and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Proceeds from the sale of the Alabama Arts license plate are used to fund a variety of arts in education and community arts projects.
Windham Elementary School third grader Bailey Robertson is attending the state awards ceremony at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival on March 9 for placing third place in her age category for digital arts. Robertson submitted a picture she took in her grandmother’s—Jan Robertson—garden of a daylily. The original plant was from Sue Ballard’s Daylilly Farm in Slocomb. Robertson is in Amanda Holmes’ class at WES.

The show officially opened Feb. 4 and ran until Feb. 25 for the high school students. The elementary school exhibit was hung March 1 with an official opening date of March 4.
