Green Life Student Art Show

The Green Life Art Contest is an annual art contest geared towards K-12 students that falls under the larger umbrella of the Athens-Clarke County Green Life Awards. Organized by several ACCGov divisions focused on environmental education and sustainability, the Green Life Awards recognize environmental leaders in our community, and the art contest has been a piece of this program for over 10 years. This year, the theme for the art contest was “Renew, Reinvent, and Rejoice,” encouraging students to illustrate how we all can renew our commitment to the environment, reinvent ways to live a greener life; and rejoice in our environmental successes. Over 70 entries were submitted from public, private, and home schools. Winners were selected in several different categories, including 2D, 3D, and digital artwork, photography, poetry, and video. This year the winning submissions will be displayed in the North Gallery of the Lyndon House Arts Center for the month of April.

The Lyndon House - located at 211 Hoyt Street just outside of downtown Athens - is open to visitors on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 AM to 8 PM, and on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10 AM to 5 PM. We hope you and your family will take some time to visit and enjoy all of the creative and thoughtful entries we received this year! Admission is free, and the exhibit is located in the North Gallery.
