LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Art class was in full session Thursday, but High Point Village is not a typical school.

Special needs students gathered for a painting session with their coordinators. It's an activity they do to bond and relax together.

But next Friday, some of their best pieces will be featured as an exhibit in the First Friday Art Trail at the Lubbock Municipal Garden and Art Center.

Their program will begin at 6:30 p.m. They say it is an honor they say they can't wait for.

Their artwork is for sale, and all proceeds will go towards High Point Village learning expenses.

"For these guys to work so hard all year round, making art and pouring their hearts and efforts and all their talent into this art, it's really cool for them to do the Friday Night Art Trail every September," said High Reach Coordinator Jaimie Havens.

Brandon Miller is 24 years old, and although he was hesitant to join High Point Village, he now thanks coordinators like Havens for helping him learn each day.

"I have one thing to say," he said. "Come to art trail. It's a lot of fun."
