It’s November and we are preparing for the upcoming holiday season! What better way to celebrate the season than to focus on the arts and artists of all ages from across the Mountain State.  The First Lady’s Office is  requesting submissions from artists for the First Lady Student Ornament Competition titled “Deck the Halls with Santa Claus.” The WVDACH and First Lady also invite West Virginians of all ages to create and submit hand-crafted wreath-themed ornaments to be displayed on a Christmas tree at the Culture Center this December. The deadline to submit your entries for both is Nov. 22. For more information about these, you can visit https://bit.ly/3UPnTwm or https://bit.ly/3UOHuNv.  Hope to see you all this holiday season!
