We’ve celebrated our adult artists, cheered on our high school winners, and now it’s time to celebrate our middle school artists!

The talent we saw from these young artists during the 2026 Arts Mount Holly Plein Air Paint Out & Wet Paint Sale was truly inspiring. 29 middle school students participated, bringing their creativity and unique perspectives to capturing the beauty and character of Mount Holly.

Today, we’re excited to recognize this year’s middle school winners:

First Place: Karina Fernandez
Second Place: McKenzie Burdecki
Third Place: Daniela Osorio

Honorable Mentions:
Adele St. Romaine
Jude Fann

A huge congratulations to these talented students! And to every middle school artist who participated — thank you for sharing your creativity with us. We were so impressed by the imagination, skill, and passion represented in your artwork.

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate these young artists and all they brought to this year’s Plein Air Paint Out!

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event such a wonderful celebration of art, creativity, and our Mount Holly community!
