About
Every year the museum is proud to present the artwork from eight local school districts who work hard to support art education in their elementary schools. This imaginative whirlwind of art changes every two weeks – complete with 76 frames, hundreds of artworks from K – 6th grade students, and student recognition receptions. Keep stopping by the Community Gallery to see what’s new throughout the exhibition! Exhibitions in the Mary Waterman Gildehaus Community Gallery are supported by the Brand-Boeshaar Foundation and The Hubbel-Waterman Foundation. The list of participating schools are below:
