The Young People’s Fine Arts Festival (YPFAF) is the Arts Council of Moore County’s way of showcasing the artistic talents of students in grades K-12 from all Moore County public, private, charter and home schools. Chosen by each school, all entries are exhibited at Campbell House Galleries during March, “Art in Schools” month. The exhibit is free and open to the public, thanks to the sponsorship of George W. Little & Associates, Town of Southern Pines, and Whistle Stop Press.
In addition to the exhibit, the high school entries were judged by Christine Zoller, Associate Professor at East Carolina University’s School of Art and Design in Greenville, NC. She chose the following winners for the 2013 Young People’s Fine Arts Festival:
