A crowd of local art lovers attended the Teen Art Show at The Art Room in Lafayette on May 15, which featured works from nearly 30 local budding artists. "We had a big turnout. I was really impressed. Some of the students sold their pieces and the kids were just so excited," said owner Gi Gi Voris. Although most of the participants were local teenagers, some artists as young as age 9 participated in the show. Voris said she plans to offer a student scholarship to The Art Room during each of its five sessions in the 2009-10 school year. "I really like being able to do things like this for my community," she said. The Art Room is located at 50 Lafayette Circle in Lafayette and can be reached at 299-1515 or www.theart-room.com.
