Livingstone Range School Division honoured some of its emerging artists Wednesday in Fort Macleod.
The 12th annual Emerging Artists Gala was held at the G.R. Davis Administration Building.
Each year, student artists are invited to submit their work for a chance to win a cash prize and have their work displayed on the walls of the school division office.
“It always makes our building look a lot nicer,” trustee Lori Hodges said at the gala attended by students and their parents.
Hodges told the audience hundreds of works of art are submitted to the panel of judges each year.
“We have to really narrow it down, and it’s so hard,” Hodges said of choosing the winners.
The work is displayed on both floors of the G.R. Davis Administration Building until the spring.
Some of the work is available for purchase.
