LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) - Area high school students are preparing to participate in a longstanding Lima art show.
This year, art students from 22 schools have submitted 215 pieces created across nine different mediums and categories.
ArtSpace/Lima is currently setting up canvases and other artistic pieces for the 37th annual Kewpee High School Invitational Art Exhibit. This year, art students from 22 schools have submitted 215 pieces created across nine different mediums and categories. With students stepping out of the classroom and into a professional art setting, the exhibit offers them a chance to experience the art world while embracing their creativity.
“This is a great career, and art can be applied, and creativity can be applied in so many different other areas... but this is something that doesn't have to be only for the few. This is something that people can walk in to, especially in this area, and see their work presented, so we want to give them that first taste of this is what it's like and not just a lot of pictures for one day on one wall. This is an exhibit, and we like to keep it up in the same level that we have our other exhibits,” says Sally Windle, Executive Director, ArtSpace/Lima.
Awards will be given for first, second, and third place in each category, as well as a Best of Show award and the Dr. Sullivan Award. Award winners will be announced on opening night.
The exhibit will kick off Friday, March 21, at ArtSpace/Lima with an opening reception from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The artwork will remain on display until April 11. Awards will be given for first, second, and third place in each category, as well as a Best of Show award and the Dr. Sullivan Award. Award winners will be announced on opening night.
