Costa Howard celebrates Student Art Month with virtual gallery of student work

LOMBARD – State Rep. Terra Costa Howard, D-Glen Ellyn, is showcasing the artwork of Lombard students by hosting a virtual art show on Facebook for Student Art Month.

“Before the COVID-19 pandemic, my office always displayed artwork from schools around the district, with a new school show every month,” Costa Howard said. “Unfortunately, our walls haven’t been as bright over the past year. So I deeply appreciate the efforts of the art department of Glenn Westlake Middle School in Lombard to help us put up this new virtual show, and I will be displaying their students’ beautiful art for the entire month of April.”

The art show will be posted on Costa Howard’s website, at reptch48.com, and on her Facebook page, State Rep. Terra Costa Howard (@RepTCH48).

“When we began this student art program, we always launched each new show with an open house, inviting families to come in and see their children’s artwork on full display,” Costa Howard said. “Although we will miss sharing these events with families, we hope these young artists will feel just as proud of their great work when they see our online show. We are grateful for this opportunity to celebrate these young artists virtually, and we look forward eagerly to the day when we can express our appreciation in person once again.”
