Students in Kindergarten through 5th grade are invited to enter a juried art show at the Hutchinson Center for the Arts. This is an opportunity for students to have their work displayed in a public art gallery to boost their self confidence in developing their art skills. Ribbons will be award at each grade level. Each student may submit up to 3 pieces of original work. Work will be accepted in all mediums – painting, drawing, photography, sculture and mixed media. There is no entry fee for the students.

No pre-registration is required. Just bring your child’s work to the HCA at 28 Main St. North in downtown Hutchinson (next to Carly’s Shoes), Feb. 1 through the 13th, Monday through Thursday, noon to 6 p.m. and Fridays, 1 to 5 p.m. We are often open in the evening hours as well. To make arrangements to drop off work outside of normal hours, just email [email protected].

All entries must have the students: name, age, grade, phone no., address, and parent’s email address taped to the back of artwork. Artwork can be picked up the first week in March.

Email [email protected] any questions, or call 587-7278.

This activity is funded, in part, by a grant from the SW MN Arts and Humanities Council through appropriations from the MN State Legislature with money from the State’s general fund, and its arts and cultural heritage fund that was created by vote of the people of MN on Nov. 4, 2008.
