Bellefontaine students’ artistic abilities are on full display at the City Building in Bellefontaine (135 North Detroit Street).

Bellefontaine Mayor Ben Stahler welcomed 22 artists to his Semi-Annual Mayor’s Art Awards reception Thursday night.

The students were chosen for their exceptional artistic skills, work ethic, and Chieftain leadership in the art room.

These fantastic works of art are proudly hung on the walls of the upstairs floor of the City Building, right outside Mayor Stahler's office. They will be hanging until April.
