Calling all Lower Bucks County Middle School artists to participate in the Spring Art Show!

Jina Dierolf, owner of Penelope Fox Art Studio LLC, is proud to be working in collaboration with Opus Elite Real Estate and Countryside Gallery & Custom Framing Design for their second Annual Bucks County Middle School Art Contest.
Art shows benefit middle schoolers by boosting confidence, fostering creativity, improving social-emotional skills [communication and collaboration], developing critical thinking, and validating their hard work by giving it a stage, proving to them that their art has real value beyond the classroom.
Arts educational experiences can produce significant positive impacts on academic and social development.
