Students got to show off their artistic skills today at the Putnam County Arts Festival at Leipsic High School.
There was a piece of art from every school district in the county, and from every grade. The main part of the art show highlighted pieces from students grades 9-12.
One 12th grader Grace Miller won a best in show ribbon for her drawing. She said she was inspired to draw it one night after being under stress from school, and wanted to release her emotions in a creative way.
“It’s an amazing experience," says Grace Miller. "I love art, just as a creative outlet and I think it’s really important for students in general to have that.”
The Putnam County Honors band and Chorus also performed at the festival.
