WABASH, Ind. – Artwork created by Wabash County elementary and middle school students will be on display at the Honeywell Center’s Clark Gallery from February 21 to March 19, 2019. Art departments from all Wabash County schools grades K-8 have been invited to participate. Sponsorship for the Elementary School Exhibit is provided by The Wabash Rotary Club. Sponsorship for the Middle School Exhibit is provided by Dynamic Designs by Dyson.
During the awards reception which will be held in the Ford Theater on March 13th at 7 pm, all school-level finalists will be recognized with an award. Twenty-eight students will be named Spring Banner Competition winners. Their artwork will be turned into Street Banners that will hang around the Honeywell Center from April until November. The Spring Banner awards are sponsored by ZoomersRV.
This annual exhibit was created to celebrate the national “Youth Art Month” by providing an opportunity for students’ art to be showcased and shared with the community. Guests are encouraged to visit the Clark Galley to see the students’ original creations as a show of support.
The Wabash County Elementary – Middle Schools Art Exhibit is just one way that the Clark Gallery supports the visual arts. The Clark Gallery hosts more than ten exhibits per year and features students, amateurs, and professionals. Exhibits include the Wabash County Schools, Themed Art Competition, and Wabash Art Guild. Because the Gallery encompasses the semi-circle of the Honeywell Center Porter Lobby, foot traffic exceeds 200,000 guests per year! Nearly every exhibit hosts a reception to introduce the public to the art. All of this is done free of charge because the Clark Gallery is a part of the mission of The Honeywell Foundation.
