Art on the Move

If you were inspired by some artwork on the side of a Binghamton city bus recently, you might have the area’s Catholic school students to thank. Horizons Federal Credit Union sponsored “Art on the Bus” and asked students from around the area to submit art work of any kind to the contest. Winners were selected from St. Thomas Aquinas School, Our Lady of Sorrows-Seton Campus School, St. Joseph’s School and Seton Catholic Central School, and the art appeared on the side of busses for four months in the fall of 2009. “It is so important in this high tech world for children to still be allowed to create,” said art teacher Sheila Wilcox, who works at all four schools. “We were thrilled to show the community what our Catholic school students can do. After all, children’s art can brighten anybody’s day!”
