2015 Westbrook Women's Club

This year 35 students were honored to be selected to compete in the annual Women's Club Competition.

This event is sponsored by the local chapter of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. Local artists are guest judges and select 1st, 2nd and, 3rd prizes with one honorary mention. The winners all go to the district show in Gorham Maine and, those winners go to the State Convention in Augusta. The winners can go as far as the National level.

Student artworks are chosen to enter the contest by the High School Art teachers. Work must have good craftsmanship, strong composition, creativity and fulfill the guidelines of the lesson or standards. All levels of art are in the same competition so if chosen a freshman in a foundations class can be in the running with a Senior Studio Art Work done by someone with 4 years of art instruction.

Please join me in congratulating all the students who were chosen and the winners as well.
