Tonight's the night! Support scholarships at the WVHS Art Dept. Paint & Shop!

The Warwick Valley High School Art Department invites you to join some of its students from the Foundations in Art (honors art) and Portfolio & Careers classes to create your own work of art during its Paint & Shop Scholarship Fundraiser... TONIGHT... Friday, April 17! 

WVHS Art Department Paint & Shop event is tonight, Friday, April 17, at 5:00 pm.

The WVHS Art Department Paint & Shop will take place from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm in the high school cafeteria, giving guests the chance to shop great goods and eat great foods from local vendors, and even paint their own great work of art!

Here's a look at some of the fun...

  • Artisan Market
    Shop unique, 100% handmade goods from local creators! Admission to the market is free.
     
  • Award-Winning Eats
    Hungry? Buy some dinner from the award-winning Maillard Food Truck (2025 Chef of the Year), and be sure ti save room for dessert from the Groovy Scoops Ice Cream Truck.
     
  • Kids’ Activity Center
    New for `26! This year the art department has added a Kids Activity Center, where children can paint a small animal-themed ceramic pots and plant flower seeds with the help of WVHS students.

    And the main event...
     
  • Paint Your Own Piece
    Art Department students in the Portfolio & Careers and Foundations in Art (honors art) classes will be on hand to walk you through creating your own paint-on-canvas works of art. Two different designs will be offered. 

Both the Paint-Your-Own and Kids' activities require tickets.

"These are some seriously talented students who will be serving as our official instructors for the event," said WVHS art teacher Kristen Spano, who teaches the Portfolio class. Ms. Spano's art department colleague, Nicole Sisco, teaches the Fopundations class. The students will be working with attendees on two designs, one featuring a birdhouse and birds, and the other a bunch of tulips. "It is going to be wonderful to see our students, who are already great peer leaders, teaching their craft to art-interested adults from the community!"

And the best part of all of this is that every dollar raised goes directly toward scholarships for graduating seniors pursuing pathways in the arts! Please consider coming out on the 17th and supporting the arts in Warwick Valley.
