Annual Haleyville City Schools Art Expo April 21

HALEYVILLE - Imaginations are flowing into creative works of art, all with a common theme from all students at Haleyville City Schools, as preparations are being made for the annual Art Expo Tuesday, April 21.
This year’s expo, which will be from 5-7 p.m. on all campuses of Haleyville Schools, will showcase art by students from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade, all with the theme “Once Upon A…”
Each work of art displayed at all schools on campus will have the storybook-related theme-- from fairy tales at the elementary school to novels and stories for older students at the middle and high schools.
Works of art, as well as duplicates can be preordered through the deadline of this Friday, April 17 at $20 per artwork, including the frame, matte and a high resolution copy of artwork, Elementary STEAM Coordinator Shanda Barnett explained.
The pre-order forms sent home with all students must be completed and returned by the April 17, deadline, Barnett said.
If a parent or member of the public wants to purchase more than one copy of a particular artwork, they can only do this through the pre-order process, organizers emphasized.
“Anybody from the public can come in and purchase the art,” Barnett pointed out.
Any copies that are pre-ordered can be picked up the night of expo, but those parents, guardians, family members and the general public attending this year’s expo should keep in mind that if they choose not to pre-order, the works of art can be purchased from that particular student’s homeroom, first period teacher or ROAR teacher in the school where the child attends--on a first come, first served basis.
Original prints of artwork can be purchased the night of expo for $20.  Only original pieces of artwork can be purchased until the May 1 deadline, organizers said.
“No artwork will be given back to students unless they purchase it,” Barnett emphasized.
