Student Artists Named to Permanent Collection

Fourteenmore pieces of art have been added to the Marlborough Public Schools’ K-12 Permanent Art Collection that was started in 2008 with funds provided by the Marlborough Junior Women’s Club.

Each year new pieces from each school are selected to become part of the permanent collection. The art is in the gallery above or availble for viewing on the district's website. With permission from parents and students, the chosen works are reproduced and exhibited throughout the community. As a whole, the images represent the artistic achievements of our students and the quality visual arts program in Marlborough schools.
