MANSFIELD – Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center (MOESC) has announced the inclusion of student artwork at an art exhibition sponsored by the Mansfield Public Art Commission (MPAC) and the Mansfield Richland County Public Library (MRCPL) main branch.
This year’s top award winners at last month’s Artapolooza, Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center’s annual student art show, were invited by MPAC to exhibit their winning artwork at The Mayor’s Show: Rising Artists of Mid-Ohio.
Fourteen local school districts are represented in this exhibit including Bucyrus City Schools, Clear Fork Valley Local Schools, Crestview Local Schools, Galion City Schools, GOAL Digital Academy, Highland Local Schools, Lexington Local Schools, Lucas Local Schools, Madison Local Schools, Mansfield City Schools, Mansfield Christian School, Mt. Gilead Local Schools, Northmor Local Schools and Plymouth-Shiloh Local Schools.
“Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center and The Public Art Commission are proud to support this exhibition, which celebrates the creativity and vision of our student artists,” stated Jennifer Pennell, MOESC Gifted Education Consultant, chair of Artapolooza and chair of the Mansfield Public Art Commission.
“Their work not only enriches our community but also represents the future of public art. We believe in empowering young voices and providing platforms where they can be seen, heard and celebrated.”
This gallery exhibition is the first to be displayed in the new gallery space that resulted from a collaboration of MPAC and MRCPL and will be open until May 23.
The dedicated space is in the 2nd-floor lobby of the Main Library located at 43 W. Third Street, Mansfield, Ohio and is open Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m.
