Adrian, MI – Adrian Public Schools recently recognized six student artists who were finalists for the 2025 Michigan Art Education Association Top 100 Exhibition. This prestigious event showcases artwork from K-12 students across the state of Michigan.
Students’ artwork was selected and advanced in each division – elementary, middle, and secondary – from regional shows held earlier this year throughout the state.
The six finalists with pieces on display were Chloe Armstrong, Sydney Britt, Liliana Gintack, Angelita Pabolo, Caleb Sheldon, and Janhvi Sidhu.
Annie Howard, Adrian High School Art Teacher and MAEA Executive Board Member, underscored the rigorous selection process for the state exhibition, saying, “The amazing work from kindergarten through high school is evident in this representation, and I am incredibly proud of the visual arts program at APS.”
Assistant Superintendent Derrick Richards expressed pride in the Adrian Public Schools fine art program, saying, “It’s inspiring to celebrate the achievements of our students, and I’m deeply grateful to our dedicated staff for creating opportunities that allow them to shine.” A closing reception for the artists was held on Saturday, April 5th.
