Cultural Arts on the Fox Event to Showcase D300 Student Talent

Algonquin, IL—The School District 300 Foundation for Educational Excellence will present the ninth annual D300 Foundation Art Show May 3 - 4, 2019, showcasing outstanding student visual arts set against gorgeous views of the Fox River in historic Old Town Carpentersville.

The D300 Foundation Art Show open house will take place on Friday, May 3, from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm and Saturday, May 4, from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm in the former Illinois Iron & Bolt Foundry building along the Fox River at 100 S. Lincoln Ave., which was recently renovated by Otto Engineering. Admission to the event is $1, and all donations will benefit the Carpentersville Boys and Girls Club.

More than 1000 pieces of student artwork will be on display, with college representatives on hand to offer guidance to those planning to pursue art as a career and award scholarships to one student from each D300 high school. Students presented American Academy of Art scholarships at last year’s Cultural Arts on the Fox include Dundee-Crown student Anabell Mora, Jacobs High School student Mikayla Rea and Margaret Meyer from Hampshire High School.

“We are thrilled to be able to showcase the amazing talent of District 300 students in such a beautiful setting for community members to come and soak it all in,” said D300 Foundation committee member Mary Gross.
