Swope celebrates student art April 7 to May 12
TERRE HAUTE — The Swope Art Museums 45th Annual Student Art Exhibition, made possible by Old National Bank, runs from April 7 to May 12. The public reception will be from 1 to 3 p.m. April 14 with the high school award presentation at 2 p.m.
The student exhibition is a favorite tradition, showcasing the work of students from kindergarten through high school. Begun in 1967, under the leadership of Swope director Howard E. Wooden in cooperation with the Vigo County School system, the exhibition has since grown to include surrounding counties at the high school level.
As the Swope celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2012, it emphasizes that this exhibition is a rare opportunity for students to see their work alongside the great American artists represented in the Museums collection.
Hundreds of students from 33 elementary, middle and high schools are represented in the exhibition. E
