This year's Arts Education Awards & Showcase--sponsored by OceanFirst Foundation--will be held on Monday, May 9 at the Middletown Arts Center and welcomes students, parents, teachers and community arts supporters to attend a special evening honoring and acknowledging the power of arts education in Monmouth County.

Kevin Oakley and Quwaamiir Harmon, incredible dancers and musicians from Asbury Park High School, will capture audiences with their unique duet. Communications High School students, Darcy Darbin and Tanner Richardett, will enliven our ears and our minds with poetry-both pieces also nominated for the upcoming NJ State Teen Arts Festival. And finally, we highlight the extraordinary artwork created by the students of Oasis tlc, taught by our Community Champion of the Arts honoree-Sarah Hilton.
