A successful museum is one that integrates with, and supports its local community.
This year's West Bend School District show will be entitled Land, Sea and Sky and
feature work from grades K-12. Approximately 180 works by students from ten schools
will be featured, with the submissions being selected by the individual teachers.
These shows are important as they engage the community and encourage the artistic
talents of students in a time when the arts often get short shrift. It also offers
the young artists the thrill of showing their work in a real museum environment.
Look for specially-made decorations in front of the museum!
At the Sneak Peek Friday program, three teachers, one each from a local elementary,
middle and high school will be present to discuss the work done by their students
and the vital importance of an art education - not only to develop artistic talent,
but how those skills can be applied to other endeavors.
