2024 Youth Art Show

The 4th Annual Youth Art Show and Kids Day was a success! Over 120 people came out to enjoy the museum and celebrate our local artists! The grand opening and award ceremony was conjoined with our annual Kid’s Day at the Museum, a free event that encourages area families to learn about history, science, culture, and art. Thanks to community sponsors we are able to give out $2,070 in prizes!

Big thanks to our event sponsor, Tyson Foods & Frances Lowe, and our special guests and volunteers from Texas Parks and Wildlife - Copper Breaks State Park, Susan Pruitt Rader, Briley Widing, Becky Alexander, Kaycee, Aurora and Austin Minor, Adam, Gavin, and Beckett Bayer, Kylan Ramos, Fern Velez, and Jeff Bearden.
