3rd annual student art show
It is that time again when art students from Tulia Junior High and High School will have their
artwork shown off at the Swisher County Library in Tulia.
Art teachers from both schools have been asked to pick out 10 pieces of art their students have
done so they may be put on display. The kids’ artwork may be viewed at the Library beginning
Monday, February 16 through Friday, February 27 during regular business hours. During that
time the community is encouraged to come out to view the artwork and to vote for your favorite
piece. Each person is allowed to cast one vote per day while the art is on display.
These kids work hard and put forth their best, do them the honor by viewing their art and casting
your vote.
Library hours are Monday 11 a.m. - 8 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday 9 a.m. - 6 p.m., and Thurs-
day and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
