From paintings and portraits to singing and dancing, Wareham High School students showed off all of their artistic talents at the school's 2nd Annual Arts Fair last Thursday.

The show aimed to showcase all five forms of art: visual, music, storytelling, drama, and movement. It featured student artwork, various musical performances, Indian classical dance, woodworking, sculpture, a performance from the Wareham Color Guard, and more.

The Art Beyond Borders traveling exhibit was also displayed among the artwork at the fair. It is a partnership of Teacher's Discovery and The International Museum of Twenty-first Century Arts (TIMOTCA). The goal of TIMOTCA is to collect a piece of art from an artist in every country in the world to serve as a catalyst for peace and cultural understanding through the universal language of art. To date, 63 countries participate. The traveling exhibit showed 24 of those works.

"Wareham High School is full of very talented young people," said Wareham High School Principal Patrick Clark. "There's a lot of celebration for academics and a lot of celebration for athletics, but for those students who are artists and use this as a means to express themselves, it's nice. It's a great night."
