“This is a way to thank the community for supporting the local levy,” art teacher Carla McCoy said, referring to art teacher jobs saved by the recent levy approval. “And it’s in conjunction with Holland Happening.”

Thursday night, art teachers will host an “Art Walk” from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Student artists and their parents are invited to a reception at Angelo’s Caffe, followed by a walking tour of the art works. The Oak Harbor Elementary School choir will provide music.

The colorful art projects include paint, oil, chalk, print-making and 3-D mediums.
