Greetings!

 

Goodwill is pleased to announce that 99 student artists submitted  drawings to the 2011 Earth Day Art Contest "Go Goodwill Green - Reuse & Recycle."

Donated Goods that are Recyclable

This Sunday, May 1, from 1 PM - 2 PM at the Goodwill Pittsfield store, there will be a Student Artists Reception for all students, their families and teachers. Finalists will be announced and gifts presented to finalists and semi-finalists.

The general public is invited to attend. Light refreshments will be served.

Panel of Judges

 

The art contest panel of judges included Marge Bride, Watercolorist, Susan Cross, curator at MassMOCA, Julie Dixon of Storefront Artists,  Deirdre McKenna, Fiber/Mixed-Media Artist and Mary Vasquez-Slack, jewelry designer.

What our judges said:

"What fun, the kids put a lot of thought into their work and

it was a difficult task picking my 3 favorites."

 

"Congrats and thank you to all the students who participated.

I looked at each and every one of the pieces and learned plenty!"

 

"The children all did such a nice job! Choosing was harder

than I thought it would be."

 

Many thanks to all the children, teachers, the voting public  

and our panel of judges.
