Two Newport High School students’ artwork was selected to appear in a traveling art exhibit on display at Newport High School.
“Student Traveling Art Exhibit, A Matter of Perspective” features original artwork from students with disabilities across Kentucky. Ivan Tafolla and Lacyann Howard’s work will be on display as part of the exhibit until Feb. 25 at Newport High School.
“We are thrilled to have two students recognized for their artistic success” said Lisa Swanson, director of Exceptional Children for The Newport Independent Schools. “This recognition gives the students a sense of accomplishment and will boost their self-confidence.”
The art exhibit is available to schools, museums, businesses, libraries and hospitals across Kentucky each year and is typically displayed in the State Capitol Rotunda during the Kentucky General Assembly Legislative session, which runs through April 15.
In November 2021, the traveling exhibit was showcased at the Exceptional Children’s Conference at the Galt House in Louisville.
Arts for All Kentucky, a nonprofit organization that promotes art, education and creating expression for all, organized the art display.
