Roberts high schools, opens today (Saturday, May 21, 2011) at The Gallery On High, 254 High St., Pottstown PA, and runs through June 11.

The exhibitors are competing for a $10,000 Scholarship for the Arts for four years of college education, funded by the foundation. The prize will be awarded to one of the several artists, based on merit as measured by artistic performance in the exhibit, as well as by a scholarship essay.

The scholarship will be presented during a June 4 ceremony at the gallery.
