UPDATED: Urban Toy Art Show to Benefit Art Portfolio program at Millennium Middle School

1st Annual Urban Toy Art Show
featuring the Art of Millennium Middle School’s Art Portfolio Class

Updated 03/25/14 We received some photos from the successful art show put on by the students. Congrats to all involved and thank you to those who supported this great cause. Here are a few words from Brandon and Melissa:

On March 15th the portfolio students at Millennium Middle School showcased all of the amazing Vinylmation and Vinylmation inspired artwork at ACME Superstore (Longwood, FL). The types of projects shown include everything from drawings to Designer Plush, and of  course Vinyl. Tons of people showed up for the event to celebrate all things Vinylmation!

The students artwork will be sticking around until April 16th. So be sure to stop by ACME Superstore before then.

If you can’t make it out to see the actual show, feel free to check out the MMS Art Portfolio YouTube Channel and explore each students “Vinylmation Portfolio”!

Also, art teachers Melissa French & Brandon Specht would like to thanks all of the amazing artists whose work was auctioned off to help raise money for next years vinyl. Shout outs to Stephanie Cassata, Brian Shapiro (and his daughter Sophie), Josh Bauer, Chris Butler, Anna Maiya Young, Destination Vinylmation, the staff of ACME Superstore and everyone who came out to support our students.
