Creative Youth Art League
March 18- March 25, 2023
Sponsored by Kiwanis Club of LaGrange, Synovus, Interface, Abbott Business Group, H & H Builders and the Morrill Hutchinson Family
Our best attended exhibition is open to students in a five county region, including private, public and home school students. Students, their parents and teachers come to an opening reception and also visit during the week to celebrate the artistic accomplishments of our area’s youth.
The Morrill Hutchinson Award for Best of Show is awarded to a high school student and all grade levels are eligible to win the Wates Keller Award for Best of Troup County. The architect of the museum’s Creative Youth Art League was the late Morrill Turner Hutchinson who wanted to make sure youth art is always an essential part our community.
