2011 Lee's Summit Arts Challenge brings new artists into the spotlight at MCC-Longview

2011 Lee's Summit Fine Arts Challenge

The 2011 Lee's Summit Fine Arts Challenge is off and artwork from some of the most talented high school students in the R-7 Schools District is on a full display in the MCC-Longview Cultural Arts Center.

On Friday more than 100 people packed into the Cultural Arts Center gallery to be a part of the opening event and get a sneak peak at who is going to be the next great artist coming out of Lee's Summit.

"This is such a unique experience for some of these artists as it is the first time they are exposed to what it is like to have their pieces displayed in a gallery like ours," gallery curator Daniel Reneau said.

Although the exhibit's opening night was Friday, the exhibit itself will be open until Feb. 26.
