Art in Bloom
Each spring finds art blooming in Ebensburg! The annual Art in Bloom exhibit is comprised of both local student talent and local professional talent. The student artwork is on display in Ebensburg’s downtown storefront windows until the end of the month. This year, for the first time, there will also be framed student work on display in the Ebensburg Public Library. The professional exhibit will take place April 30th and May 1st at the Cambria County Courthouse. The artwork will still be displayed the last two weeks of April and the first week in May.
The following students from Jackson Elementary have their artwork blooming in the store windows this year:
3rd grade: Dylan Devlin and Brayden Astolos – Water Color Cardinal
