HAYS, Kan. -- More than 1,500 students from about 60 schools are expected to attend Fort Hays State University's 38th annual High School Art Exhibition from 10 a.m. to noon on Wednesday, April 18, at Gross Memorial Coliseum. The event is hosted by FHSU's Department of Art and Design.

Entries include sculptures, pencil drawings, oil and acrylic paintings, ceramics, and graphics.

High school students may participate in art projects throughout the day.

Students may also take part in a sidewalk drawing competition. The school that creates the champion sidewalk art has the honor of taking home a traveling trophy and is awarded other small prizes.
