24th Annual "Touch the Future" Art Show
The 24th annual “Touch the Future” Student Art Exhibit, sponsored by the Mideastern Region of the Pennsylvania State Education Association (MER/PSEA) and the Council for the Advancement of Public Schools (CAPS). Twenty-seven Bucks and Montgomery county high schools are expected to submit up to 10 entries per art teacher. Awards and monetary prizes totaling $1,900 will be presented for student artwork judged best in a range of categories.

The exhibit will be featured at the Abington Arts Center – 515 Meetinghouse Road in Jenkintown from Feb. 5-27.
