Do you love working with wood? Is painting your thing, or do you prefer quilting or knitting? Regardless of your choice of expression, catching up on what we’ve been doing since high school is the best part of a class reunion. What better way than to show what you’ve been creating. This year’s all-school event will include the Orval Spence Memorial Alumni Art Exhibit in the high school on Saturday, August 31, 2019. Tom and Gwyn Keedy are also offering the Bixler Building on the west side of the Square as a venue in which we will display works produced by UHS and PCR-I alumni before and after the reunion. Below are participation requirements and the Alumni Art Exhibit Form. We would appreciate receiving your entries by August 20, 2019, to provide time for labeling and display arrangements. Please call Jane McDonald at 660-299-0224 with any questions or you may contact me by email at janepa7nts@gmail.com. This is a non-juried event simply for the purpose of sharing creative efforts. Whether cross stitch or sculpture, we’re excited to see just how much talent has come out of this little community.
Orval Spence graduated with the UHS Class of 1962 and went on to be an art educator with a passion for painting, drawing and photography; he passed in 2018. If you have examples of the original artwork of other UHS/PCR-I graduates no longer with us, we would love to include those pieces in this exhibit. Recent graduates’ work is sought as well.
