A multi-decade Lima art tradition showcased the artistic talents of area high school students. On Friday evening, students from 19 regional high schools participated in the 36th annual Kewpee High School Art Invitational at ArtSpace/Lima. Students were able to show their work through a variety of mediums ranging from drawing and painting to digital and mixed media as well as ceramics, jewelry, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. Through whichever medium a student embraces, organizers say the art allows students to display their heart and soul.
