The Dream Art Contest
Art Exhibit
Friday, February 17. — Wednesday, February 29.
Presented by Atlanta Public Schools and Karz Productions, the Auburn Avenue Research Library will host a special exhibit featuring artwork from participants that qualified for the semi-final round of The Dream Art Contest. The competition focused on generating an appreciation for the relevance of history and to demonstrate the vital importance of the arts in education and in daily life.
The artwork How the Civil Rights Movement Moves Me Today (pictured above), by Eyoel Twedros, a senior at North Gwinnett High School, is a favorite of exhibit visitors and contest judges.
