Titled Young Visions, the exhibition is the ninth showing of elementary school art at the Gallery. "The Annual Elementary Exhibition is a great opportunity for our local youth to participate in an art display in a professional gallery," said Gallery Director Minda Douglas. "When the parents and grandparents visit the show, they are exposed to the IU Kokomo Art GalleryÕs diverse exhibition schedule. Young visitors can also paint on a progressive on-site mural throughout the exhibition. We hope they all will continue to visit the Gallery to experience the full array of all that we offer."

Douglas encouraged schools to bring classes to tour the exhibit; contact Douglas at (765) 455-9523 for appointments.
