LMS eighth-grader Tiajah Boyd shows her work, “Peace Doll” that will be on exhibit at RWC in December.

For the 18th consecutive year, Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury will show works by some of the area’s most talented young artists. The Lancaster Middle School (LMS) students’ annual art exhibition will take place during December.

Led by teacher Marilyn Sprouse, the LMS visual art students have been exhibiting their work at RWC since the art teacher joined Lancaster County Schools in 1999. Approximately 270 fourth- through eighth-grade art students will display their completed works in the annual “December Show,” held in RWC’s Gallery Hall.

“Students are very creative and have worked extensively this year to improve their craftsmanship,” Sprouse said. Media included in the show includes watercolor, pen and ink, pastels, chalk and more.

“I am always thrilled and excited to share our youths’ visions,” Sprouse added. This year, she said, is special for students, as RWC residents will vote for their favorite works to receive honors.

The art reception will be held from 5-6 p.m. Dec. 12, and is open to the public. The students’ artwork will be on display throughout the month, and residents and community members are invited to view the exhibit from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. daily.
