They should bring their artwork to Columbia Center, 375 S. 18th St., on Feb. 28 between 4- 6 p.m. The show is open to all grade levels. “The Columbia Center Art Committee is delighted to show off the talent of our young artists,” said Jan Rentenaar, chair of the show. “The commit tee has featured youth art at least once each year and it is always one of our favorite shows. We hope the communi ty will enjoy this show as much as we do. “We want to thank Boise Cascade for sponsoring this show, which allows us to host the reception, present awards and sponsor a student applica tion to Jumpstart,” Rentenaar said. “We could not bring this to the community without Boise’s help or without the cooperation of the schools and the Jazz Band.” The art program is spon sored by Columbia Foundation, the non-profit group formed to build Columbia Center, where the St. Helens Public Library and Columbia Technology Center operate. Questions about the art show and about entrance re quirements may be directed to Barbara Peschiera, executive director of Columbia Founda tion, by calling 397-1139 or by e-mail at bcp@columbia-cen- ter.org.
