Young artists from the Frederic, Webster, Grantsburg and Luck school districts, and from Northwest Passage, had the opportunity to display their work to the public. The Sixth-Annual Student Art Show, sponsored by Burnett Area Arts, is exhibiting works by local students in grades nine through 12 and runs through Sunday, March 16.
