Ceramics created by Bailey Hallman, Sunrise Middle School, and by Kraegan Horn and Bree McClenahan, students at Kearney High School, were selected to show in the National K-12 Ceramic Exhibition.
Bailey Hallman is an 8th grade student at Sunrise Middle School. Bailey’s ceramic work “Family”, which depicts a family of mice, was one of 48 entries at the middle school level selected for the exhibit out of the entire nation.
Artwork by Kraegan Horn and Bree McClenahan, students at Kearney High School, was also selected. Horn’s work “Forgiveness” and McClenahan’s work “Shy” were two of 663 entries at the 11th-12th grade level selected from entries from all over the nation. Horn’s ceramics depicts a jaw bone and McClenahan’s piece is a hand holding a rose.
“I am extremely proud of these students, their efforts, and their success,” stated Katrina Olmstead, KHS Art Teacher. “This is the 3rd consecutive year that KHS students have represented our school, city, and state in this exhibition.”
The exhibit will be held in conjunction with the annual international conference of The National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts, where thousands of artists, curators, collectors, vendors, and visitors from all over the world attend an annual conference.
