Bridgeport students shine at regional art show

BRIDGEPORT – Two Bridgeport High School art students were big winners at the 45th annual North Central Washington Educational Services District (NCWESD) Regional High School Art Show. 

“Antonio Godinez-Martinez took first place in photography,” said art instructor Brad Skiff. “Selena Hernandez took third place.”

Antonio’s work was titled “Bubbles” and Selena’s titled “Green Marble.”

“This show represents work from all high schools in the NCESD, basically, Moses Lake to the border,” Skiff said. 

Hernandez’s entry benefited the aspiring artist in another way.

“Additionally, Selena’s work was selected for a tuition waiver at Central Washington University,” said Skiff. “Photography is one of the most entered categories, so they did really great.”

An awards reception will be held at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center (WVMCC) from 1 to 3 p.m. on March 16. The pieces will be on display at the WVMCC through April 6.

Museum staff will forward a digital submission of the regional award-winning pieces to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) on March 22.
