We are so proud of our young artists! 🎨

Thank you to the for featuring local students Felix Henson and Violeta Romero-Meza and their incredible artwork.

Their work is currently on view in our Owen Gallery exhibition, Young Artists of Mitchell County, curated by local artist and educator, Melisa Cadell ( ). This inspiring exhibition celebrates young people exploring the power of art and creative expression.

As Melisa Shares:
