The Westport Public Schools Visual Arts program launched their new annual art show, SPARK, June 12-19 at MoCA, Westport. Inspired by the imagination and self expression of Westport students K-12, SPARK represents the creative spirit at work in Westport schools each day.
The exhibition served as an expressive platform for students in visual arts and was enjoyed and celebrated by many including Westport families, students and staff.
Staples High School students Sophie Alcyone and Sasha Maskoff, two of approximately 300 top Connecticut seniors who excel in the arts, were honored at the 27th Annual High School Arts Awards. The Connecticut Association of Schools (CAS) honored the top seniors with plaques for excellence and distinguished service at a banquet on April 5 at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville, CT. The CAS annually recognizes two seniors in each member high school for their outstanding ability in the performing or visual arts. Selected by Staples staff to receive this honor, Alcyone was recognized for visual art and Maskoff for music.
The Connecticut Association of Schools serves Connecticut's K-12 public and parochial schools in all areas of inter-school activity. The association represents over 1,100 schools in the state. The Connecticut Association of Schools is a non-profit organization located in Cheshire, Connecticut.
