PEQUOT LAKES — Local artists young and old put their talents on display for the public to see at the annual Pequot Lakes Festival of the Arts on Thursday, March 30.

Many Pequot Lakes High School art students had their works on display in the eastern part of the Patriot Athletic Center, adjacent to works done by several adult artists in the community.

The west end of the athletic center was reserved for works of art done by students at Eagle View Elementary School.

Paintings, sketches, sculptures and more were on display, and some artists created in front of the public with works such as origami.
