Elementary fourth-graders spent two sessions learning from Jerry Brown
and then created their own pottery piece, which was judged and displayed
as part of last week's Jerry Brown Arts Festival.
In addition to ribbons and certificates, these top five artists were
awarded scholarships by the Northwest Alabama Arts Council to attend
Bevill State Community College's Summer Arts Camp to be held June
1 through 5 at its Hamilton Campus.
This program was made possible by funding through the "Support
the Arts" license plate grant program.
