GLENDALE, California – Glendale Water & Power (GWP) is thrilled to host the annual student artwork exhibit from July 24 to August 6, 2024, at the Glendale City Hall lobby. This art exhibit features award-winning pieces from The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s (MWD) 26 member agencies across its six-county service area, showcasing the creativity and environmental consciousness of young artists that tie into the theme of “Being Waterwise Is…”.
Each year, MWD organizes the “Being Waterwise Is…” student art contest as part of its educational outreach efforts conducted by local water agencies. This contest invites students to create artwork that promotes water conservation and the protection of our planet’s most invaluable resource. The winning entries are selected to be featured in an annual calendar and become part of a traveling art show, raising awareness and inspiring communities far and wide.
From a pool of over 2,000 entries, 37 exceptional pieces have been chosen to be displayed during normal business hours at the Glendale City Hall lobby. This exhibit provides a platform for these young artists to share their message of sustainability, water efficiency and conservation with the public before the collection moves on to another MWD member agency. Notably, two talented students from Glendale’s service area have been recognized for their outstanding contributions:
- Sophia Doh, 3rd Grade Student from Monte Vista Elementary School
- Hayoon Lee, 5th Grade Student from Fremont Elementary School
Residents and visitors are encouraged to visit the lobby at Glendale City Hall, located at 613 E. Broadway, Glendale, CA 91206, to view these inspiring artworks. City Hall is open Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and on Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Join us in celebrating the creativity of our youth and their commitment to water conservation.
