The Art/Music Students of the Month program, which is sponsored by the Anthony Wayne Area Arts Commission, is designed to recognize outstanding visual art and performing arts/music students at Anthony Wayne High School. Through this program, AWAAC wishes to encourage and support these emerging art/music students in all their endeavors.
Each month from October through May, a visual arts student and a music/performing arts student will be selected by the high school art and music teachers to receive this special honor. Chosen students will receive a certificate of honor and gift cards to local businesses from AWAAC. Also, all selected students will be recognized at school art and music programs.
This program is funded through a generous grant from the Waterville Community Foundation and additional funds contributed by the Anthony Wayne Area Arts Commission.
The students to receive this honor for the month of October are
Lillian Albert (visual arts) and Elijah Neff (music/performing arts).
Our visual artist of the month for October, 2024 is Whitehouse senior, Lillian Albert. She is the daughter of parents, Sara Smith and Allen Albert. Lillian enjoys the creative freedom and endless possibilities that art offers. She is keeping it local by attending Bowling Green State University next year where she hopes to earn a fine art degree. Lillian hopes to use her talent to become a concept artist who specializes in character design. We couldn't be prouder of you, Lillian, and we look forward to your future contribution to the local art scene and beyond! become a marine researcher.
The student of the month in performing art is none other than Elijah Neff. A senior from Monclova, Elijah is the son of Philip and Jacqueline Neff. Spoken like a true music lover, Elijah told us that he loves portraying feeling though music and finds interest in the meaning and storytelling music offers. He eagerly participates in all of Anthony Wayne High School's band programs and truly enjoys performing. Elijah plans on attending the Ohio State University where he wants to study English literature and eventually go into law. We at AWAAC know you will, Elijah, and wish you the best of luck!
