K-8 Student Art Show
The annual K-8 Student Art Show is on view in the main and north galleries at the Carbon County Arts Guild & Depot Gallery. It is a show that represents a broad view of the creative talent from students in Fishtail, Fromberg, Joliet, Luther, Nye, Red Lodge, Roberts, and home schools.
Local art teachers select the work to bring to the Arts Guild. Once the work is installed, the Arts Guild invites a local artist and community member to judge the art in the show so awards can be given out. This year Red Lodge artist Dominique Paulus and First Interstate Bank Commercial Relationship Manager, Kim Haman came to the gallery to select the award winning pieces. From over 200 entries that included paintings, drawings, sculpture, weaving, collage, and ceramics, the judges chose a 1st-5th place winner and an honorable mention for each grade level. The winning selections are identified by a ribbon. And thanks to our generous sponsors, each winner receives a nice package of art supplies.
