February 4-23, 2023: Elk Grove Fine Arts Center “A Celebration of Art with EGUSD"
EGUSD students in grades 9–12 were invited to participate in a new exhibition at the Center. We challenged them to use traditional artistic expression, or to surprise us to make us think, and articulate emotions in new and exciting ways. Award Ribbons will be given during the First Saturday reception. Let’s congratulate and celebrate the 64 students from Elk Grove, Florin, Franklin, Laguna Creek, Monterey Trail, Pleasant Grove, and Sheldon High School for making it into the Elk Grove Fine Arts Center’s Competition and Exhibition.
