Young artists shine

Ross Bridge’s Arts and Music on the Green festival was the setting for an art show that featured young artists from Bluff Park Elementary, Deer Valley Elementary and Rocky Ridge Elementary. Steve Cole, professor of art at the University of Montevallo, judged the competition, which included drawings from more than 30 young artists.

Art teachers Shawn Argo of Bluff Park Elementary, Christine Collier of Deer Valley Elementary and Judith Davidson of Rocky Ridge Elementary submitted their students’ work for judging.

Sponsored by the Hoover Arts Alliance (HAA), the art show resulted in six winners, each of whom received recognition certificates and gift certificates.

Winners of the children’s art awards are:

Maisie Seltz – Bluff Park, $25

Jordan Rochford – Deer Valley, $25
