DGN Artists Honored by Elmhurst Art Museum

The Elmhurst Art Museum is pleased to host the fourth annual Portfolio exhibition for artistic teens. This exhibition is open to all high school seniors in DuPage, Will, and Kane Counties.

EAM works directly with local high school art teachers who select student art portfolios to be sent to the Museum for judging. Each submitted portfolio consists of six works created in the same medium. Up to twenty-five portfolios are selected for the exhibition. The Museum hosts several educational programs for students including Portfolio 101 and Careers in the Arts Day.


Please join us for Portfolio's opening reception on Saturday, April 9, 2011 (corrected date) from 1:00 – 3:00 pm at the Elmhurt Art Museum.

This year, 17 student portfolios were selected for exhibition by the panel of judges. DGN Fine Arts is pleased and proud to recognize these five outstanding student artists who have been recognized:


  • Chloe Boltin, senior

Scholastic Art Awards - Regional Exhibition

Congratulations to the District 99 Visual Art Team for hosting the 2011 Scholastic Art Awards Regional Exhibition. The logistics involved in planning and executing an art exhibition of this scope and caliber take a great deal of time and energy, and we recognize the art faculty involved in bringing this event to District 99 yet again.

An additional thanks is extended to the DGS and DGN parent volunteers who organized the hospitality for today's opening reception.

Thank you Music Boosters!

Each year at IMEA, the DGN Music Boosters sponsors a dinner for our All-State musicians as a way to say "thanks and congratulations" for a job well done. On behalf of all the DGN students and staff that attended IMEA, we extend gratitude to our Music Boosters for this experience. It is a blessing indeed to be able to sit back, enjoy a meal, and celebrate the great work of these student musicians.
