One day left for Northview High School art display

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich.—Time is running out to see the talents of Northview High School students on display at the Kent ISD building.

Artwork created by students in the high school’s advanced art and fashion design classes is on display in the building’s lobby now through December 12.  The exhibit features pencil and ink drawings and pastel pieces created by sophomores, juniors and seniors.

“It’s about getting my students to realize that their art can make a difference and can be a great way to get others to understand things that are important to them or society,” says instructor Tricia Erickson.

The Northview High School art display is part of a rotating series of exhibits from schools within the Kent ISD. Artwork from the students of Byron Center Christian Schools will go on display in January.

The Kent ISD building is located at 2930 Knapp NE in Grand Rapids Township.
