Student Artwork on Display at the Pequot Library

The 40th Annual Townwide Student Art Show will be held at the Pequot Library from Tuesday, May 27 until Thursday, May 29. 

The library will exhibit more than 800 pieces of artwork by local students. The exhibit will also showcase pieces by students from Fairfield's two high schools, three middle schools, and 11 elementary schools. 

"It is one of the gala events of the Fairfield school year and means so much to the students to know that their community is recognizing them," the library writes. "This show is a wonderful opportunity for our students to display not only the outstanding pieces from each grade level but to demonstrate the building blocks of our art program."

Artwork from the Advanced Placement studio art classes of Fairfield Ludlowe and Fairfield Warde high schools will be on display from May 27 until June 9. 

Visitors can view the exhibits free between 10am and 8pm. A reception on Wednesday, May 28, will include refreshments, lawn games, children's activities, and live jazz performances. The reception will run from 6:30pm to 8:00pm.
