Cloud County Community College Art Show goes virtual
Cloud County Community College’s annual high school Art Show has gone virtual in 2021.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has limited the number of in-person events at the college, Art instructor Amy Kern coordinated a Virtual Art Show for area schools. Nine high schools submitted more than 90 pieces of artwork to be judged virtually.
This year’s digital format allowed each school to enter up to 10 pieces of work, which were then judged by Kern, Brigitte Bruna and Jennifer Taphorn.
Schools who participated in the 2021 Virtual Art Show were: Centralia, Southern Cloud, Frankfort, Little River, Republic County, Rock Hills, Smith Center, Washington County, and Pike Valley.
Best of Show award went to Ye Gang Lee, from Republic County for acrylic painting.
The “best of” awards for each category are as follows:
Best of Oil: Maggie Armstrong, Frankfort
Best of Acrylic: Ye Gang Lee, Republic County
Best of Watercolor: Kacla Shirley, Little River
Best of Drawing: Abigail Rose, Frankfort
Best of Mixed Media: Carril Rego, Smith Center
Best of Photography: Carolina Barraza, Pike Valley
Best of Ceramics: Clarissa Koch, Centralia
Best of Jewelry: Carolina Barraza, Pike Valley
A slideshow of all the award winning artwork can be found at: https://www.cloud.edu/academics/fields-of-study/humanitiesfine-arts/art-events/.
Congratulations goes out to Ye Gang Lee!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

RCHS Assistant Drum Major Julia Blazek visited sixth grade band today! We learned how to conduct the fight song and got to talk a little bit about what band looks like at the high school level. We had a great time, and we might just have an army of drum majors on our hands!
RCHS Art Club had a great time visiting Springdale Art & Nature Center today.

What a memorable day!
