Five Locust Valley High School artists have been accepted into this year’s Nassau County High School Art Competition.
Seniors Annemie Germans, Maeve Germans, Angelina Grygoriak and Joe Hataier and junior Julia Pisciotta had their pieces, “Growth and Decay,” “Trois Bios En Lin,” “Ukrainian Traditional Clothing,” Self Portrait” and “Reclined Dog” selected to be displayed at The Art Guild at 200 Port Washington Blvd., from Nov. 3-23. Annemie Germans’ and Joe Hataier’s pieces were also selected as an honorable mention and a finalist in the competition, respectively.
The prestigious event, hosted by The Art Guild in Manhasset and juried by acclaimed artist and Co-Director of the Long Island Academy of Fine Art Steve Forster, showcases exceptional talent from students across the county.
“Watching my students’ hard work and creativity being recognized is one of the greatest rewards of teaching,” art teacher Melanie Mooney said. “I am fortunate to teach such talented students and to see them shine.”
