TEEN ART SHOW RECEPTION

The Friends of the Library, The RFL Teen Department, and the Future Teen Friends sponsored the Teen Art Show in memory of Riverhead High School Art Teacher Vincent Nasta. Riverhead High School students submitted over 120 pieces for the show. The students showed off their immense talents in a variety of mediums, ranging from water color to computer graphics, from ceramics to photography.

The reception was held on Friday March 6. If you were unable to attend the event, all of the art work will be on display until March 25.

Here are some pictures from the reception:

The Loft staff would sincerely like to thank all of the Riverhead High School Student who submitted their art for the show, and all of those who donated their time to make the show happen.
*For those of you whose work is on display, please pick up your items on March 26 between 2-7pm*
