Support Local Youth Artists at the MonDak Heritage Center

Ready to dive into something awesome? The 2024 Youth Art Show is happening right now at the MonDak Heritage Center in Sidney until April 27th. But before we get into the nitty-gritty, let's chat about why art classes and supporting local artists are so important.

Art classes aren't just about painting pretty pictures or sculpting cool stuff. They're about fostering creativity, self-expression, and critical thinking skills in our youth. By supporting these classes, we're nurturing the next generation of artists, innovators, and problem-solvers.

And speaking of support, there's something magical about backing our local artists. When we show love to the talent right in our own communities, we're not just investing in beautiful creations – we're investing in our neighborhoods, our culture, and our future.

Now, back to the show! The 2024 Youth Art Show is all about showcasing the incredible talent of 7th to 12th graders from nearby schools. With paintings, drawings, mixed media, and more on display, it's a celebration of creativity like no other.
