Students from the Independence Community College Fine Arts Department are among the winners at the recent 72nd Annual Verdigris Valley Art Exhibition.
The art show featured work from area artists that will be on display this month at the Independence Historical Museum and Art Center. Judging for the competition took place last week with ICC students Callista Romans and Phoebe Swartz both earning recognition. Romans received First Place in Painting for her work, Breath into the Silence, while Swartz earned Second Place in Sculpture for her piece, Dinner is Not Over.
ICC Art Instructor Luke Blevins was also recognized during the exhibition, receiving Second Place in Drawing for Hook, Line... and an Honorable Mention in Painting for Disagreement.
