ELMIRA, NY (07/31/2018) Two Elmira College art alums teamed up to win 3rd Place at the 11th Annual Elmira Street PaintingFestival the weekend of July 7. Angela Niforatos '10 and Amanda Baroody '02 endured a very warm three days of drawing on their knees to create the colorful chalk drawing titled "Shiny Bug."

They collaborated on choosing the subject matter and eye-catching bright colors as well as completing the drawing on the pavement. Both women have established careers as art educators in Elmira. Amanda inspires art students at Holy Family Catholic Schools and Angela shares her love of art with her students at the Thomas K. Beecher Elementary School.
