The annual Student Awards Show showcases the work of the talented high school students of our area.
To encourage the development of the arts in our community, three student awards are given to seniors to continue their artist journey.
The annual Student Awards Show is supported financially through grants by the yearlong fund-raising activities of the members of the Fort Myers Beach Art Association.
This years judge was our own Heidi Fausel.
