JANUARY ART WALL DISPLAY
The Kingsville Branch of the Essex County Library is excited to showcase the incredible talent of young artists from our local high school!
Art students from Erie Migration District School have filled our art display area this month. Each semester we look forward to showcasing the creativity and talent of these students.
The school encourages students to explore various mediums, ranging from traditional painting and drawing to mixed media.
The artwork from students at Erie Migration District School is a vibrant reflection of their diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences.
