MORROW — The next Pavarottis and Picassos will be on display Saturday, May 17 at the Little Miami school district's fine arts festival.

The eighth annual Rhythms and Renderings show begins at 11 a.m. and features visual, vocal and instrumental artists from students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

"This festival raises awareness of the tremendous artists in our schools and helps students discover and develop their artistic gifts," said Superintendent Dan Bennett. "Art is an important channel for self and community expression. It is an opportunity to convey thoughts and feelings in a creative and tangible way."

Little Miami spokeswoman Lisa Knodel said the show was started in 2001 as a way to bring art, music, dance, woods and industrial technology together

"The annual spring event was designed to showcase student achievements in all these areas and have a day where all could display their unique talents," Knodel said.
