Student Art Show Arrives at IRWD

Stop by the lobby of the Irvine Ranch Water District’s Sand Canyon office the week of April 5-12 to view the winning Water Awareness posters of students from all over Southern California.

The display features the winners of the 2015 Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s poster contest and includes the art work of Jana Ibrahim, who was a first grader at Westpark Elementary School at the time of the contest.

Jana’s art work and the other 35 winning posters will be displayed in the IRWD lobby and available for public viewing during regular business hours: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The students, their parents and teachers were invited to a ceremony at Metropolitan’s Los Angeles office in November. The winning art work was framed and on display in the building’s rotunda. Winning posters were published in the 2016 Water is Life calendar.

The traveling art show began in January and is making its way around various water agencies all over Southern California. The show will conclude the end of July and the framed art work returned to the participating agencies. Jana will be honored at a future IRWD board meeting and be presented with her winning art work.

IRWD has participated in the annual poster contest since its inception more than 20 years ago and has had at least one winner each year. More information about IRWD education programs is available on our website.
