Check out the creativity of more than 450 Kent School District children during the annual Kent Student Art Walk March 7-18 in downtown Kent.
Twenty-five downtown Kent businesses and the Centennial Center Gallery will display the artwork during the free tour.
An opening reception to honor the budding artists will run 5-7 p.m. March 11 at the Centennial Center Gallery, 400 W. Gowe St., next to City Hall.
In addition, youngsters can get involved in the art walk through a special “passport” program. A “Spring Into Art Panda” symbol will be attached to one artwork at each location. Participating youngsters record information about the artwork on their passport. When they have collected information from six locations, they can visit the information booth at the Centennial Center Gallery to receive a prize.
Passports will be available starting March 11 at the Centennial Center Gallery, Children’s Bookshop and Marie Haggin Accessories, all in Kent.
The Kent Arts Commission presents the annual Student Art Walk in cooperation with the Kent School District’s teachers, students and parents, the Kent Downtown Partnership and Kent Station.
