Dulaney High School’s annual ArtFest 2022 is back! After a virtual offering during the pandemic, Dulaney’s celebration of the creative arts will be held from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Friday, April 22. With live music and dance performances, art installations and arts and crafts sales, ArtFest is a wonderful showcase for our talented students and is open to the public.

The 34th edition of the award-winning Dulaney Sequel Literary Arts Magazine is also coming soon. Compiled by members of the advanced creative writing program, Sequel features literary works submitted by students. This issue will also showcase the winners of a creative contest based on the theme of Dreams and Nightmares, with the winning submission coming from sophomore Jenny Zhang along with seniors Brian Hwang and Ryan Tiedemann receiving honorable mentions. Artist Sunny Shen, a sophomore, will have her artwork featured as well.

Other Dulaney writing students recently had stories featured in a mystery anthology in conjunction with a writing contest sponsored by Young Writers USA. The students were tasked with writing a mini-saga in the crime and mystery genre creating drama, suspense and tension, all in 100 word or less. The winning stories were published in a book, entitled “Unsolved: Case Files,” as part of a nationwide contest. Our Dulaney student authors included Haley Abbott, Isabella Briggs, Mariam Darraj, Ashlyn Hoffman, Mina Kim, Sara Leber, Kiera Nelson, William Pipitone, Gabriela Roberts, and Mia Shelton.
