Tri Kappa Art Show

December gallery at CDPL As we enthusiastically welcome the awakening freshness of spring, so too, we eagerly welcome the awakening fresh possibilities available to Montgomery County's high school art students, in the spring of their lives. From winter hibernation, eclectic expressions of original ideas, raw energy and talent have erupted from fertile imaginations and are presented for your viewing pleasure in the Public Library's Mary Bishop Memorial Art Gallery from Saturday, February 24 until Sunday, March 18, 2007. Come often, stay long, and enjoy new facets of the exhibit on each visit. Through the financial and volunteer support of members of Crawfordsville's Tri Kappa Sorority and the encouragement of county high school art teachers, we are again able to present this annual exhibit. These dedicated women and gifted art teachers go out of their way to support talented young artists and provide for them a venue in which to display their work without the grueling process of having to be juried into the exhibit. Every student who has the desire and tenacity may enter pieces into one or more of the following fourteen categories; Ceramics, Communication Arts, Graphic Design, Computer Graphics, Drawing I and II, Jewelry & Metalsmithing, Mixed Media, Painting, Photography I and II, Printmaking, Sculpture and Textile & Fiber Design. Tri Kappa provides an experienced, well-qualified judge, from outside Montgomery County, to award first, second, third and honorable mention prizes to winners in each of the fourteen categories and Best of Show. Generous monetary prizes and ribbons are provided by Tri Kappa as well. Do come and be awed by the talent emanating from these young high spirited artists who "just want to entertain you"!
