On April 8, 2025, Questar III BOCES hosted the 36th Annual Juried High School Art Exhibit at its main office in Castleton, NY. The event featured thirty four pieces of art submitted from twelve districts and three Questar III BOCES schools and programs.
Questar III Arts in Education would like to send a special thank you to our art show juror, Anne Skrebutenas. She had the difficult task of evaluating the art and selecting the competition winners.
