The arts brought Liberty County High School and Bradwell Institute together to celebrate the second annual Artsfest at Liberty County High on April 26.
The evening was sponsored by a grant from the Georgia Council for the Arts through its Grassroots Arts Program. The funding provided a display system, matting for student work and publicity materials. The event was open to the community.
Matching funds were provided by the LCHS Art Club, the LCHS Band Boosters, Choir and Drama club. Between 400 and 500 people attended the Artsfest, which showcased student performances by the LCHS band percussion ensemble, chorus, band flute choir, band jazz ensemble, the cast of the recent LCHS production of “Grease” and a poetry reading by LCHS students of their original work.
Those attending enjoyed a catered reception with refreshments sponsored by the LCHS Art Club. The juried art exhibition in the media center included work from both Bradwell and Liberty students.
