2017 Carver Center Celebration
Reigna won 1st place in her high school's senior Visual Arts contest for artwork to be featured as the face of the 2017 Carver Center Celebration! Additionally, Reigna's oil painting, "Big Brother" under her "Tribe of One" series of 8 oil paintings was awarded a regional gold key this year by Scholastic Art & Writing and,it continues to be well received.
The Carver Center Celebration is the school's major annual fundraiser that is hosted by the Carver Parent Foundation. It is designed to be a fun evening that features each of the school's primes while guests enjoy a variety of food, spectacular entertainment and have an opportunity to bid on a wide array of prizes! This year's event was a hallmark occasion for Reigna and her parents, as her artwork marks not only the face of the 2017 event but, it is her last Carver Celebration prior to her graduation from Carver Center.
Reigna's "Big Brother - Tribe of One" painting dawned the magnets that were given out to guests as a complimentary gift.
