Night of the Arts events to showcase student artwork

The Snohomish community will soon have two great opportunities to enjoy a variety of artwork - and more. Both Glacier Peak and Snohomish High Schools will host Night of the Arts benefits in May. Families, students and community members are welcome to attend. Glacier Peak’s Night of the Arts will be held Thursday, May 19, while Snohomish High’s is Thursday, May 26. Both events are 5-8 p.m.

These annual events are geared to raise community awareness, understanding, and enthusiasm toward art. Artwork from area students grades K-12 will be on display, and both schools are actively recruiting area artists to provide their work for display or sale, or to demonstrate their techniques in person.

Both evenings will include performances, demonstrations, festivities and a silent auction. Painting, pottery, music, dance, video and multimedia will be represented.

Admission is $5 for adults. Students and children are free. Benefits will support next year’s Night of the Arts. Refreshments will be available. A free sneak peek preview of the art shows will be held 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. the day of the event.
