Art created by students in Dexter Community Schools will again be part of the Michigan Art Education Association Region 3 Art Show.

Every school in DCS, from Anchor and Beacon to Wylie, Creekside, Mill Creek and the high school, will have students participating in the show. It will be open to the public starting Saturday, Jan. 25th to Friday, Feb. 28^th.

In explaining the show, Krickett Chamberlain, an art teacher at DHS, said every winter, Michigan Art Teachers who are members of the Michigan Art Education Association get the opportunity to showcase their students work in different juried Region Shows. Regions are a group of surrounding counties making up a total of 18 Regions across lower and upper Michigan. Dexter’s Region is Region 3 and is Washtenaw, Jackson, Monroe and Lenawee Counties.

After the Region Shows have been juried, Chamberlain said selected pieces move onto a State Level Adjudication process and a statewide show.

Teachers can choose 5 Artworks per level (Elementary K-5, Middle 6-8 and High School 9-12).

This year the Region 3 Show will be at the Gallery at Washtenaw Community College.
