Keep My Future Bright - Kids Art Show
Switch Wicked is excited to host its first kids' art exhibition with participants from Riley County and surrounding areas. This is a free, non-juried art show — please check out the details and FAQ's below to submit your child's handmade artwork! An opening reception will be held Saturday, September 19, from 3 - 5 pm. The public is invited to meet the artists, enjoy light refreshments, live music from the Doodads, and screen printing (bring your own light-colored blank t-shirt to have the “Keep My Future Bright” design printed on it!)
When times feel tumultuous, artwork can uplift us and help us feel a sense of belonging — this is especially true when looking at the whimsical and uninhibited artwork of children. It is ever-important to remember kids are our future, and we want to keep their future bright!
The artwork will be displayed from September 19 - October 16.
