A huge thank you to the Perry County Council of the Arts for providing professional muralist Janeen Hershey through the Education in the Arts program to work with Newport High School’s art students.
For an entire week, Janeen shared her professional guidance and artistic talents with our students. NHS art students had the incredible opportunity to paint alongside her, learning new techniques while growing as young artists.
The completed mural, now displayed in the high school hallway, brightens the space and reflects the strong sense of community at Newport High School. The mural was designed to create an interdisciplinary connection among students and staff while enhancing the mental and emotional well-being of everyone who shares the space through beautiful and meaningful artwork. 💙💛
This project would not have been possible without the generous financial support of the Newport Buffalo Foundation. Once again, the NBF has provided our students and teachers with an enhanced educational experience that will leave a lasting impact for years to come.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this amazing project possible! 👏
