From February 12 to March 20, 15 students will represent Meadowlark at the Coutts Museum of Art in El Dorado, KS. Every year the museum hosts the Butler County Student Art Exhibit, and it is a great opportunity for local elementary and secondary students to showcase their work. It is quite an honor to have artwork displayed in an actual art museum!
