Work from students in three of the city’s high schools will be on display at the Cultural Arts Center
The MCC-Longview Cultural Arts Center is proud to present its second annual Lee’s Summit Fine Arts Challenge, a high school fine arts competition and exhibit featuring the works of high school students from the three Lee’s Summit High Schools.
“This is a great opportunity for high school students to interact with fellow art students and professional artists here at MCC-Longview,” said Daniel Reneau, MCC-Longview Cultural Arts Center gallery manager.
This year, officials have invited David Harrison, a painting instructor at the Kansas City Art Institute, to judge the competition and selected the top high school artists in Lee’s Summit.
Last year, the Arts Challenge drew more than 200 entires from Lee’s Summit Art students. It also proved to be one of the most popular art exhibitions at the MCC-Longview Cultural Arts Center.
The presentation and awards ceremony for this year’s Arts Challenge will begin at 5 p.m. on Jan. 21 in the MCC-Longview Cultural Arts Center.
Exhibition Dates:
Jan. 21- Feb. 26
The Gallery is open Noon-4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
Art works should be dropped off at the Cultural Arts Center Jan. 8 from Noon to 4 p.m.
The selection and judging will take place the following week.
