Local KHS Students Showcase Artwork at Heartland Pathways, Proceeds to Benefit Young Artists

The KHS Traveling Art Gallery is now open at Heartland Pathways, 1626 Morgan Street, Keokuk. It features new artwork by students, available for purchase, aiming to celebrate their efforts and instill pride in their work.

Leo Clark, a KHS art teacher, hopes the program will show the community the students' talent and illustrate the potential for earning as independent artists. The artwork's sale is designed to motivate students to continue their creative pursuits.

The money from each artwork's sale will go directly to the student artist, providing a financial incentive for their creativity and effort. This initiative is viewed as a supportive measure for the students' artistic pursuits.

However, the frames for the artwork are not part of the sale. They belong to the KHS Art Department and will be reused for future exhibitions and student projects.
