Every year the All-County Student Art Show is held in the Spring.  The show is held  in a rented public space in Morehead City. All high schools, middle schools and elementary schools participate.  In 2009 about 120 pictures by Newport Elementary students were included. There was an opening party with refreshments and an awards ceremony. This is a fun event that all are welcome to attend. The show stays open for about 10 days after that to allow everyone to get there and see the wonderful range of imaginative art that Carteret County students from Kindergarten through 12th grade make. 

Any students can have pictures in the art show.  Fifth graders are favored as are really great pictures.  Mostly it is projects students have done in school, however there is also space for artwork that children make on their own. Make sure your name and teacher's name are on the picture. Bring your best picture to Ms. Fiske in January or early February so it can be entered in the show.  A few winners will be selected but the main thing is the exhibition, not the winning.

Pictures by N.E.S. students were exhibited at the SECU bank during the month of June and July 2009 and will be shown there again in May 2010.
