2023 Youth Art Show

The 3rd Annual Youth Art Show and Kids Day was a success! Over 100 people came out to enjoy the museum and celebrate our local artists!. The grand opening and award ceremony was conjoined with our annual Kid’s Day at the Museum, a free event that encourages area families to learn about history, science, culture, and art. Thanks to community sponsors we are able to give out $1,325 in prizes!

Big thanks to our event sponsor, Vernon College, and our special guests and volunteers from the Boys and Girls Club of Vernon, Texas Parks and Wildlife - Copper Breaks State Park, Wilbarger Humane Society, Roger Townson, Campfire girls, Jamie Chapman, Donna Stribling, Cody Alexander, Fern Velez, and Kashley Oglesby.
