Kauai Museum Display of Student Art
|
In a tradition begun in 1960 by Museum founder
Julia Wichman, the Kauai Museum offers this extraordinary opportunity
in an effort to encourage and acknowledge the creative and artistic
talents of Kauai's young people. This year 16 children from Circles
of Light's After School Art programs submitted work to this annual
show open to children of all ages. Judges award ribbons in the
categories of two-dimensional work, three-dimensional work and
photography. One of our 6-year-old budding artists won a Director's
Choice ribbon and all entrants had their work displayed in the
show.

This is the one event during the year where
all our participants in the After School Art program come together
in one place. Budding artists from around the island get to
meet each other and have a great time. Friends and family members
are welcome to enjoy water slides, a display of children's art,
more art projects, and good healthy food. A wonderful community
event!
