This spring, art teachers sent in more than 200 entries representing their students’ best work for the annual calendar art contest in Fayette County Public Schools. Volunteers from the local arts community judged the pieces, and the winners were announced April 26 during a reception at The Lyric Theatre and Cultural Arts Center.
