Our Bulldog artists have been very hard at work this school year. Art on a Cart didn't dampen the talents of our young artists. Virtual learning and the ever-changing school atmosphere didn't keep our older artists from creating amazing pieces. The 2020-21 Art Show may not look the same as other years, but Ms. Durkin is proud to present the fantastic talents of our Ithaca artists.
