Delbarton art students made a great showing this year at the Blackwell Street Center for the Arts' High School Art Show.  The exhibit, which will be on display at the Morris County Administration Building in Morristown until April 29, features top artists from 20 area high schools.

At the reception for the show on April 3, the event organizers lauded the creativity and skill of the student artists and explained that the show is getting more competitive each year, with 679 entries this year, and less than half of those entries accepted.  In addition to the honor of being accepted, several senior Delbarton AP Art students received awards, including a first-place prize for Grant Parker '25 in the Oil and Soft Pastel category.  We congratulate all the art students for representing Delbarton in the show, and look forward to seeing their work continue to develop!
