Make Midland Beautiful
To encourage creativity and
uniqueness among children, the Make Midland Beautiful Art Celebration requests
posters from 2nd and 6th grade art classrooms facilitated
by art teachers from public, charter and parochial schools depicting “what
makes Midland beautiful”. Each participating school selects and submits two
posters in March to represent their classroom. The posters are reviewed by
judges to select a single representative from each school who will be honored
at a City Council meeting in May. All submitted posters are displayed at the
Grace A. Dow Memorial Library during the month of April. Visit www.midland-mi.org\beauty.
