Nine Bentley School Students were selected to present selected pieces from the 2006 Youth Art Competition. The works of twenty young artists are on display in at the Oakland International Airport through the end of April 2006. This competition, sponsored by the Oakland School for the Arts and the Port of Oakland, was open to all Oakland residents between Kindergarten and 5th grade. Local professionals on the bases of creativity, technique, composition, and skill level evaluated submissions. Richard P. Fitzgerald, Headmaster of Bentley noted, "With nine of the twenty young artists representing Bentley School, it illustrates the depth and breadth of our visual arts and academic programs. Our long time art instructor, David Hershcopf, continues to inspire our students and in doing so, has created a standard of excellence for Bentley that is unmatched."
