TACFA Celebrates Student Artistic Talent Across TUSD

The Tustin Area Council for Fine Arts (TACFA) hosted its Student Art Invitational this month, celebrating the creative talents of students from across our middle and high schools. With more than 320 pieces on display at the Tustin Library, this juried contest with cash awards totaling more than $3,200, highlighted student work in a multitude of media from drawing and painting to photography and ceramics. A huge thank you to the TACFA board and the many volunteers who make this evening possible, in addition to the support from our art teachers and staff who ensure students engage with art at the highest levels.
