Meet the Visual Artists, runs from February 10th to March 24th, 2025. The show features the work of visual artists Hannah Lewis and Kat Murray, who serve as art instructors for Walker County schools. Meet the Visual Artists highlights how Hannah and Kat’s personal artistic practices and process in the studio influence their teaching methods in the classroom.
Hannah and Kat teach 3rd, 6th, and 4th-grade art classes across the county, bringing creativity into the classroom through a 7-week series of lessons in color theory with watercolor painting, value/shading, printmaking, and sculpture.
The in-school visual art program is possible through the invaluable partnership with the Walker County Board of Education and the generous support of the Walker Area Community Foundation. Their commitment allows us to continue inspiring and empowering students through the arts.
Meet the Visual Artists will be on display from February 10th through March 24th. Visitors are invited to meet the artists at the Closing Reception on March 20th, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, where they can engage with Hannah and Kat and learn more about their creative processes.
