Battle Ground Public Schools

BGPS announces the winners of the 2019 District Art Show

Battle Ground Public Schools recognized the winners of its 60th annual District Art Show on Monday during a school board meeting held at Captain Strong Primary.

Former district art teachers selected winning pieces from each grade level. Superintendent Mark Ross also chose a piece for the annual Superintendent’s Award. The Bob Peck Award honors the late Bob Peck, a former Battle Ground High School teacher and the founder of the District Art Show. The award was established after Peck passed away in 2017. Peck taught art at the high school for more than 37 years, and the school’s art gallery is named for him.

You can see the more than 800 pieces of art created by K-12th graders on display at Captain Strong Primary School, 1002 NW 6th Ave., Battle Ground. The public is invited to view the art free of charge from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, May 17.

You can watch an online slideshow featuring the art of the first place winners here.
