Many art exhibits have been held at the Firehouse Gallery over the years. They open with a public reception, stay for a couple of weeks, then they are gone.

Plans are being finalized by the Arts Council to create space in the Kirbo Room for more long-term displays of local artists. The room has been painted and new display shelving is being installed.

According to a council spokesperson, the plan is to put together exhibits from such artists as Darghan Long, Vera Custer, Mary Cox, to name a few. In addition, the first place student from the all schools spring show will be highlighted for a month or six weeks, and after that a different school will be highlighted every six weeks.

It is expected to become a reality mid-April. At that point, plans are to have it open each Saturday, with special arrangements made for group tours.

In the meantime, the all school art show will take place this Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m., when students from all grade levels will highlight their artistic creations from the classrooms. The public is encouraged to come see the budding artists being turned out by the Decatur County Schools.

Here is a list of the featured students for this show, by school and grade level.
