The cafetorium at Maple Place School was transformed on Tuesday from a place to run around or eat a sandwich to a gallery showcasing colorful pieces of art.

The Oceanport School District held its district-wide art show and academic enrichment presentation on May 21 and Patch ran over to check it out.

We loved the self portraits, some super-sparkly fish and if we're not mistaken, a really great rendition of the immortal Bart Simpson. We especially liked that you could stop and get a tattoo or your face painted and become a walking work of art.

Check out our photo gallery to see what the kids have been working on all year.
