Students from Miller Grove ISD and Como-Pickton CISD will have an opportunity to enter into a student art competition for Woods and Rains County schools with artwork due the week of Feb. 8, 2021 at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts (WCA).

“I am ‘passing the paintbrush’ to WCA Board President, Mary White and Art in the Gallery Chairman Mary Geisler,” Baldwin said in a press release. “They will fill the Winnsboro Center for the Arts gallery with a montage of ingenious original artwork for the 2021 Seventh Art in the Gallery High School Art Competition.”
The artwork will be judged Feb.
