The Hampton Woman’s Club held a reception for its 2023 Student Art Contest on Friday, April 28. Middle and high school students received recognitions for their works ranging from pencil drawings, paintings, digital media, fiber art, and sculptures.

“Congratulations to the amazing and talented art students for their success in the 2023 Woman's Club art contest! I am particularly proud of the variety of artwork that was submitted, the attention to detail, the use of color and media, and the unique perspectives that were showcased in this year's show,” said Ai Choo Ashe, HCS teacher specialist for performing and visual arts. “A huge thank you to the teachers for their guidance, support, and expertise in guiding the students toward this accomplishment.”
