Art Show Tomorrow!
The 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Art Clubs have been working on a project and this Saturday, February 8th you can see some of these projects in person! The "G.R.E.A.T. Little Minds" exhibition will be held this Saturday, February 8th, from 10:00 am until 12:00 pm, at the Hudgens Center for Art & Learning. They will display an exhibition of 'little libraries' made by students, families, groups, and professional artists from all over Gwinnett County. The FFMS Art Club has three pieces in the exhibition, and we hope you'll come see their great work!
Due to construction, please use the Satellite Boulevard entrance. GPS users should use the Embassy Suites address of 2029 Satellite Blvd, Duluth, Georgia, 30097. Once you turn off of Satellite Blvd, the Hudgens Center is on the left past the Embassy Suites.
For more information on the exhibit, please visit the G.R.E.A.T. Little Minds website and discover the latest news about the program.
