On Friday, the National Art Honor Society (NAHS) held their annual “Pies & Picasso” event in the Salata Technology & Innovation Center. Ellen Hutchinson ’27 and Elizabeth Hutchinson ’29 led the participants in the painting of a fall pumpkin and gourd smorgasbord, or “Smorgasgourd.” NAHS members volunteered to help participants with the painting process. A large assortment of pies was provided for people to enjoy while they painted. NAHS raised nearly $1000 from the event, which will help the club pay for their art museum field trip later in the year. Some outstanding paintings were created, and a good time was had by all! #Prep #NAHS 🎨🎃🥧
