Impressive art starts here, at Webster CSD!
 
Each year the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Bevier Gallery hosts START HERE, an exhibit featuring student art work selected by high school and middle school teachers from throughout the Rochester and Finger Lakes region. Webster CSD has a rich history of student winners in this juried show. This year is no exception.
