PIMA COUNTY FAIR!


Art Fair

It’s time again for the Art Show at the Pima County Fair! Student artists from schools all over the county show their artworks to the entire regional community. We participate every year with hundreds of entries from Kinder to 8th Grade, and every student wins a ribbon!

 All Kinder and 1st grade students will have art entered in the Fair, but we become more selective beginning in 2nd grade when students enter the art room.

Every year we explain how we choose the Art to the students from 2nd grade up. We don’t focus on talent; rather we emphasize following the guidelines of each project and making a great effort. For example, a very talented student may waste time socializing and hand in a late project. That artwork would not qualify. Also, only finished and clean artworks are chosen. Finally, students must label their art with their name and age.

This year the fair opens April 17th and closes April 27th. Many, many thanks to the students, teachers and parents who help Mrs. Paradis and Mrs. Phelps make our Pima County Fair Art Show so spectacular!  Don’t forget to visit our blog to see latest projects http://tcdsartdepartment.blogspot.com/ . We look forward to seeing you at the fair!
