For the 19th consecutive year, the Barton County Arts Council is celebrating the talented young artists of USD 428 Elementary and Middle Schools. A reception will be held from 2-4 p.m. Sunday at the Barton County Historical Society Museum, which co-hosts the exhibit with the Arts Council. The students’ colorful works are on display from now through April 28th.

Shannon Wedel, Elementary School Art Instructor, is joined this year by two new teachers. Miraya Starnes will rotate through the elementary schools with Mrs. Wedel and Pamela Williams has taken over art instruction at Great Bend Middle School. 

The public is encouraged to attend and enjoy the efforts of the community’s young people.
