[adning id=”33097″]
Sulphur Springs High School senior Travis Pundt and junior Callie Harvey are among the record 109 aspiring artists from a best-ever 20 regional schools who will have their first opportunity for a full museum exhibition with the Tyler Museum of Art’s 15th Annual High School Art Exhibition, opening Sunday, March 31 and continuing through May 5 at the Museum, 1300 S. Mahon Ave. on the Tyler Junior College main campus. Admission is free.
Pundt is the son of Sandra Pundt of Sulphur Springs. Under the instruction of Dr. Philip K. Dick, he submitted his acrylic-mixed media portrait titled Father into the juried competition and will be eligible for one of four “Merit of Honor” awards as determined by the judging panel, to be presented during the exhibition’s Opening Reception and Awards Ceremony from 2:30-4 p.m. Sunday, March 31 at the Museum.
Ms. Harvey, daughter of Paul and Jill Harvey of Sulphur Springs and also under the instruction of Dr. Dick, entered her acrylic painting Lucky Luke out of competition in the exhibition’s special “Up & Coming” category.
The community is invited on March 31 to meet the participating artists, enjoy light refreshments – and cast their votes for the annual Viewers’ Choice Award to be presented at the exhibition’s conclusion. Ballots are available at the Visitor Services desk in the TMA lobby. “Merit of Honor” winners will receive gift certificates from Dick Blick Art Materials. All participating artists will receive Certificates of Participation and one-year student memberships to the TMA. To RSVP for the March 31 opening reception, call (903) 595-1001.
