Support the Arts in Our Schools!

Approximately 400 students within the Grossmont Union High School District competed in the 4th Annual Golden Artistry Jewelry Design Competition this year.  The entries were evaluated on March 11 by a panel of three judges on both the quality of the design and the effectiveness in conveying “flight”, the theme of this year’s competition. Twelve finalists have been selected, but only one of them will receive the Grand Prize; their design presented to them as a piece of jewelry at the awards event on May 3rd at the La Mesa Community Center.  The Grand Prize will be created in precious metals and gems by Master Goldsmith Terry Whyte of Golden Artistry in downtown La Mesa. 

The awards event will be a hosted event open to the public and supported by many caring individuals, restaurants, businesses, and Friends of East County Arts, Inc. There will be silent auctions, raffles, music, and refreshments available from 5-9, so bring the whole family and help support the arts in our schools.
