We had an amazing turnout of high-caliber student work from all of the schools. It was a breath of fresh air to finally have an in-person art show for the first time in three years. Students made new friends, saw old ones and were able to see what kind of art is being made by students in our region. Thank you so much to the Pagosa Arts Initiative for volunteering to judge and thank you to the hard work of our incredible young artists.
