This is one grantee update we can all admire!

Head over to the Mulvane Art Museum Art Lab this summer to check out a beautiful πŸ¦‹ sculpture created by students from schools across our community. The students took full ownership of their work of art, from design to creation to presenting in front of their peers at student assemblies. We are inspired by their creativity, teamwork, and growth!

The project is part of Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Seas, which includes other sculptures displayed around Topeka. This opportunity was made possible by a community-wide partnership with Topeka Public Schools, Topeka Zoo, The Rotary Club of Topeka, Mulvane Art Museum, Washburn Ecobods, Full Circle Sustainability.

Thank you for supporting our local students!
