A Trenton High School art student earned honorable mention in the 2021 Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art’s annual regional high school exhibition.
Shay Westerhof entered two artworks, earning honorable mention for her monochromatic drawing, “Vines”. She also submitted another piece, “The Look.” Lori Duff is the THS art instructor.
The annual event is an invitational exhibition with over 75 schools from Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas asked to participate. A limited number of students at each school are selected by their teachers to enter. This year, 76 works of art were presented for judging. Artworks were divided into nine categories and three judges carefully considered and scored each piece. Awards for first, second, and third place were selected in each category. Some categories included an honorable mention award.
The works will be on display at the museum, located at 2818 Fredrick Ave., in St. Joseph through Saturday, April 10. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults, $2 for seniors and $1 for students. Museum members and children under age 6 are free.
