MoorArts showcases more than 100 pieces of student artwork.

The third floor of the was transformed into a festive gallery and performance space at the MoorArts Holiday Arts Festival Saturday, Dec. 3.

More than a hundred pieces of art created by students at Moorestown district schools were displayed on professional art racks and tables designed to showcase three-dimensional pieces. Curated by MoorArts board member and former art teacher Kathy Aubert, the work included pastels, self-portraits, photography, sculpture, interpretations of ethnic and medieval art, pottery and other unique art forms.

Younger visitors were invited to participate in make-and-take craft stations, where they applied creative energy to holiday keepsakes. Festival patrons were treated to live performances by area singers and musicians throughout the event. Stars from the MoorArts’ summer production of Hairspray entertained the crowd with holiday favorites, show tunes, and original compositions. Musicians from Moorestown High School added instrumental interludes to the entertainment.
