Battle Ground School District Art Show announces winners for 64th year
May 23, 2023
Battle Ground Public Schools recognized the winners of its 64th annual District Art Show on Monday during a regular school board meeting held at the Lewisville Campus. The District Art Show is an ongoing tradition that was started in 1959 by then Battle Ground High School art teacher Bob Peck in collaboration with Battle Ground city librarian Florence Rieck as a way to share our students’ artistic talents with the community.
The Art Show featured a People’s Choice category to allow the community to actively participate in the event. More than 500 people voted for their favorite pieces of art!
There were so many wonderful pieces submitted; we hope you enjoy viewing the incredible artworks by students in our district.
