• The 3rd Annual EWG Spooktacular is approaching! This year it will take place on Friday, October 29th. The Fine Arts Dept. will be hosting the event, located in the vicinity of the art rooms. We will have the Street Painting Contest again, judged at 5 pm- open to adult/alumni and secondary students. At 5:30 pm the award winning EWG Chamber Singers will perform on the Arts Terrace. At 6:15- the incredibly artistic carved pumpkins will be judged. Multiple people can sponsor one artist ($10 a square). You get to pick the theme. Past themes: movie/Psycho, Dead Poet's Society, Day of the Dead, Macbeth, Money for the Arts (Bob Ross sponsor), Greek mythology, choice of artist, etc. 
•  Profits will benefit the EWG chapter of the National Art Honor Society and provide some cash prizes for the artists participating. Please consider sponsoring a street square (located at sidewalk by art rooms). I have some AMAZING talent ready for the challenge. Sign up sheets are in the Art rooms, or email if you are interested, have questions, etc. Thanks!!! Elizabeth and Nicole
