This March, James River High senior Blue earned third place in the high school category at the Virginia School Board Association’s Southside Regional Art Contest. Blue's work “Untitled” was chosen from numerous entries representing 12 school divisions across the region.
The works were assessed by a panel of judges at the VSBA’s Regional Spring Network Forum in Dinwiddie County. The VSBA Regional Art Contest began in 1989 to promote the artistic talents of Virginia’s public school students. Contests are held in nine regions with artwork submitted from the elementary, middle and high school levels.
