The annual USD 497 public schools show features works selected by art teachers of K-12 students from across Lawrence. Showcasing a cross-section of the diverse, excellent visual arts programming in Lawrence Public Schools, this exhibit spotlights the value of arts learning and the importance of fine arts programs in public education.

When viewed after the Lawrence Arts Center arts-based early childhood art exhibition, the show provides a fascinating look at the trajectory of artistic development and creative growth happening every day in Lawrence.
