“The life of the arts, far from being an interruption, a distraction, in the life of the nation, is close to the center of a nation’s purpose – and is a test to the quality of a nation’s civilization.”
-John F. Kennedy

VCSC Swope Art Exhibit
In 1966, Director Howard E. Wooden suggested that the Swope, in cooperation with the Vigo County School Corporation, hold a student exhibition to showcase the excellence of both the area’s young artists and the area’s art teachers. The exhibition features student artwork from each school in the Vigo County School Corporation, as well as several other area private schools. Art work is carefully chosen for the Swope Student Exhibit to include students from each grade level with a variety of medium and subject matter. Schools are allowed one entry per 100 students.
