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. The exhibit is free and open to the public, thanks to the sponsorship of George W. Little & Associates, Town of Southern Pines, Whistle Stop Press, and Wells Fargo Foundation.
In addition to the exhibit, the high school entries were judged by Anny Bradley Rawson, Grants & Special Project Director for the Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County in Fayettville, NC. She chose the following winners for the 2015 Young People’s Fine Arts Festival:
