Three Art Show Winners Named

Vickie Cook and Judy Harness are proud to announce three Plymouth art students that have been named finalists in the Symphony in Color contest. They are: Alexsia Ramirez, Jefferson, Caleb Bunton, Washington, and Shawnee Buchert, Webster.

Students listened to the music performed by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and created artwork that illustrates the rhythm and movement of the music. The 100 finalists work will be on exhibit at the Indiana State Museum from March 31-May 15, 2007.

Each year, more than 35,000 elementary school children throughout Indiana participate in Symphony in Color, an enrichment program offering a unique blending of two disciplines: symphonic music and visual art.

The program culminates in a juried exhibition in both the Hilbert Circle Theatre and the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The 2007 exhibit will be at the Indiana State Museum due to construction at the IMA. There are 100 finalists and 36 blue ribbon winners selected each year. One entry will receive the Pacini Award and will be displayed in the Hilbert Circle Theatre for an entire year.

Under the direction of a teaching professional, children interpret recorded selections of symphonic music through their personal artistic creations. For additional information on this contest, see the following website, http://www.symphonyincolor.org/.
