The ARTwalk is an exhibit of young artists' artwork collected from schools and community organizations across the region. The public exhibit celebrates the achievements of young people's visual creativity as part of the Flint Hills International Children’s Festival, produced annually by Ordway Center for the Performing Arts. All young artists are invited to participate in this unique visual arts experience. Last year’s ARTwalk continued to expand for the 6th year in a row, with more than 1,200 pieces of artwork submitted from around the state. Last year’s ARTwalk included fabulous site specific installations: a 15 foot mobile in the atrium of Wells Fargo Place created by Webster Elementary students; a professionally curated exhibition of four selected students at the Artist’s Mercantile, and nearly a hundred paper Mache hot air balloons in Dunn Bros. created by students at Paul and Sheila Wellstone Elementary. The 2010 ARTwalk marks the seventh year of this program in association with the Flint Hills International Children’s Festival. We hope to expand the ARTwalk to include new sites and new participants, while continuing to celebrate continued participation from our partners across the region. We would like to thank all of last year’s building owners and management companies for allowing us to display the vibrant, inspiring creations of our youth in the store front windows. Thank you as well to 3M for donating all of the 2009 ARTwalk window and sidewalk clings. *Interested in becoming a site sponsor? Please contact Kirstin at kwiegmann@ordway.org or 651.282.3035.
