The USD 475 District Art Show and Auction will be Saturday, April 7 from 1-4 p.m. at the C.L. Hoover Opera House.

According to the Executive Director of Communication for the school district, Mat Droge, the show will be sponsored in part by the Geary Community Schools Foundation and will give students an opportunity to display their work. Artwork displayed at this event is created by students and instructors alike, and will be available through purchase through a silent auction.

This is an annual event which first began in 2013. Proceeds from the auction will fund the USD 475 Art Scholarship for one Junction City High School graduating senior who plans to pursue a career in Visual Arts or Design.

The silent auction will run from 1-4 p.m. on April 7. The starting bid for artwork is $20. During the show patrons may bid in five dollar increments beginning with the starting bid. Winners of the auction will be notified the following week.
