Through April 20, the Algonquin Area Public Library District is hosting the village of Algonquin's Student Art Exhibit at the Harnish Main Library, 2600 Harnish Drive.

The fifth annual Student Art Exhibit, organized by the village's public arts commission, features 95 artworks created by local middle school students in a variety of media such as painting and drawing.

Participating schools are Algonquin Middle School, St. John's Lutheran School, St. Margaret Mary Catholic School, and Westfield Community School.

The commission recognizes "Best in Show" winners from each school. The overall artwork in design and execution is awarded the Richard A. Rehwaldt Memorial Award, in honor of the late community arts supporter and former Algonquin Public Arts Commission member who helped develop the village's first student art exhibit in 2012.

The library is pleased to host this year's exhibit and invites the public to view the students' works during regular library hours. For more information about library hours and location, call (847) 458-6060 or visit www.aapld.org/about-us.
