Preschool through high school artists will display their artwork in the second annual MG Kids Art Show and compete for $50 prizes and the chance to have their creations permanently displayed at Morristown's Spring Street Community Development Corporation.
The show is part of St. Peter's two-week community arts festival, which also includes a poetry night May 1 and a full day of arts workshops for children ages 6-13 on May 12.
Artwork will remain on display through May 13. At the grand opening on April 27, the Family Success Center of Morris County will provide hands-on arts activities for children from 3 to 6 PM. At 7 PM, the Peter Moffitt Medicine Show, featuring New York area jazz musicians, will perform in a jazz coffeehouse.

Art show exhibitors also are invited to be on hand to discuss their work from noon-5 PM on May 6 as part of the Morristown Art Walk.
In conjunction with the art show, the Family Success Center is sponsoring a contest, with winning entries being displayed at the center's office at the CDC launched by Bethel AME Church. Artwork will be displayed throughout St. Peter's Spring Arts Festival, where voting will take place, and later at the Family Success Center.
