Thirty-two Foxcroft Academy teachers viewed the art. A total of 103 people voted on the People’s Choice Award. Five club members attended.

On April 29 eight GFWC MIOSAC Club members attended the Northern District Meeting and Art Show at the Newport Cultural Center.

Foxcroft Academy submissions at the district art show didn’t disappoint. Richards won second-place honors and Goodine won the People’s Choice Award. These two art pieces will move on to the GFWC MAINE Spring Conference in Bangor on May 11-12 where competition is among many high schoolers from all over Maine. Winners go on to compete in the National Art Show at Summer Convention attended by all GFWC clubs in every state. Good luck to our state of Maine winners/contestants.
