Wilson College will hold a reception from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 1, to mark the opening of an exhibition of art created by area high school students. The exhibit, which is free and open to the public, will continue through Dec. 7 in the Bogigian Gallery, which is located on the second floor of Lortz Hall.

The exhibition, the eighth of its kind at Wilson, will include 25 works of art that were accepted for the exhibition from more than 140 submissions from students in Franklin, Adams, Cumberland and Fulton counties in Pennsylvania and Washington County, Md.

Cash prizes of $200, $100 and $50 will be awarded for first, second and third places, respectively, and other works of note will receive honorable mention. In addition, monetary scholarships will be offered to winners who enroll at Wilson.

Students are encouraged to offer their works of art for sale during the exhibition, which is presented by Wilson’s Division of Arts and Letters.
