Artwork from four Western Riverside County Students to be featured in MWD’s 2018 Calendar

Four students in Western Municipal Water District’s (WMWD) service territory have had their artwork selected to be featured in Metropolitan Water District (MWD) of Southern California’s 2018 annual “Water is Life” Art Contest calendar. The four children’s artwork was selected from among hundreds of submissions from throughout Southern California.

The youngsters will be honored at a celebration reception on Dec. 7 at Metropolitan’s Los Angeles headquarters. This year’s celebration will feature an art exhibit with all winning art pieces, a student recognition ceremony and presentation.

The student artwork creates a powerful message about our water resources to both the students who create them, as well as those who appreciate their artwork.”
