WABASH,Indiana – Recognizing that March is Youth Art Month, the Honeywell Center’s Clark Gallery will display its annual Wabash County High School Art exhibit from March 24 to April 17. The goal of the exhibit is to emphasize the value of art and art education for all children. Art Education develops self-esteem, appreciation of the work of others, self-expression, cooperation with others, and critical thinking skills. All of these skills are vital to the success of our future leaders – our children.
The following students were awarded and recognized as this year’s winners:
Chloe Steele, grade 12 – Manchester High School
Chad Elliott, grade 10 – Southwood High School
Ellie Schuler, grade 10 – Northfield High School
Lilly Mota, grade 9 – Wabash High School
Saebre Barker, grade 11 – Heartland Career Center
Isaac Cooper, grade 10 – Emmanuel Christian School
The Wabash County High School Art exhibit is sponsored by Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance and agents Kevin Leming, Jo Ellen Studio and Ronald Baer.
The Wabash County High School Art Exhibit is just one an example of how the Clark Gallery supports the visual arts. The Clark Gallery hosts more than ten exhibits per year and features students, amateurs, and professionals. Because the Gallery encompasses the semi-circle of the Honeywell Center Porter Lobby, foot traffic exceeds 200,000 guests per year.
