SIU Med School to Exhibit Art by Sangamon County Students

Nearly 100 pieces of selected artwork created by Sangamon County elementary, middle and high school students is being exhibited Friday, May 4, through Thursday, May 24, at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.  The exhibit is in the second floor lobby of the School’s main building, 801 N. Rutledge St., Springfield.  It is open to the public during the School's regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays. 
The display represents the work of students from various schools in Sangamon County.  The artwork includes paintings, sculptures, pen and ink drawings, weavings and mixed media constructions. 

This is the 20th year the School of Medicine has hosted the exhibit, which is organized by Sangamon County art teachers and coordinated by Amy Minch, art teacher at DuBois Elementary School and Black Hawk Elementary School, both in Springfield.  

A reception for the students, their parents, teachers and principals will be held 4:15 to 5 p.m. Friday, May 4.
