Special to The PREVIEW

On Thursday, April 25, the Pagosa Springs High School Art Department attended the Intermountain League Regional Art Show in Cortez.

We took 77 works of art and competed against five other schools. The students did amazing. Please congratulate these students when you see them.

All of the artwork that was taken to the show will be on display in the art hallway next week. All the award winners will go on to participate in our new art show, the Pagosa Springs Student Art Show, on May 8 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the high school commons area. Awards will be given in five categories and there will be six purchase awards made that evening. All schools, K-12, will be in participation. Mark your calendars; we would love to have you stop by.
