The Marlinton Woman’s Club hosted its annual Evening with the Arts – a celebration of student artists – at the Pocahontas County Opera House last Friday, in conjunction with the First Friday festivities at Discovery Junction.
Middle and high school students had art on display in all mediums – from pencil drawing, to painting, and even some ceramic creations.
Members of the Woman’s Club judged the artwork – a hard task going by the displays – and awarded ribbons to the talented artists.
