Evening of the Arts
The annual MHEA Art Contest was held on Friday, August 17 with art drop-off and judging held during the day and viewing being held in the evening, with some of our own MHEA students providing musical entertainment. New this year were culinary offerings from several students who were raising funds for mission trips or other personal opportunities. It was a lovely night of fellowship with friends, art, music, food, and the chance to meet new people. Dads and grandparents who ordinarily might have missed this opportunity got a chance to experience what talent our homeschoolers have to offer.
Local artists judged the incredible talent of our MHEA students and awarded ribbons for first, second, and third place in each grade for painting and drawing; as well as for photography, textiles, framed, and 3-D / other art in each of four age categories. One honorable mention ribbon was also awarded for creativity in the painting and drawing category. A list of winners is included below.
With so many pieces of art displayed, several culinary offerings, and eleven musical performances, "An Evening of the Arts" was a great success. Thanks to all who participated and came to enjoy an exciting event showcasing our students. Special thanks to Shannon Bellamy for organizing the event; and for the work put in by Kathy Armstrong, Hannah Bellamy, Robby Bellamy, Stacy Hert, Richard Murley, Shey Sims, and Ginger Velasquez. Thanks to Faith Baptist Church for allowing us to host the event at their facility, and for always being gracious to offer help to the homeschool community.
