After judging hundreds of art entries, the winners have been chosen to be displayed at The Suzanne Maria Rossetti Memorial Juried Art Exhibit for the 43rd year.

Displayed inside the Schulman Gallery on the Luzerne County Community College campus, the exhibit displays the winning art from students in grades seven through twelve in the Back Mountain, Tunkhannock and Northwest Areas.*

"Today is my favorite day of the whole exhibit because all of the students are coming to the exhibit with their parents and grandparents and it's just such a great day for them to be recognized for their artistic abilities," said Heather Madeira, one of the contest organizers.

Immediately following the gallery's viewing hours on opening day was the awards ceremony, honoring the young artists.

Prior to the award ceremony, visitors to the gallery were invited to tour the LCCC Art Department.

The gallery will be open to the public Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and the gallery can be found inside building #14.
