Wabash, IN- Honeywell Arts In Education, an educational offering of Honeywell Arts & Entertainment, celebrated student artists in Wabash and Miami counties with receptions for the annual Winter Banner Competition. Each winter, schools in both counties submit original winter artwork by students of all ages. Select entries are made into holiday street banners to decorate light poles in downtown Wabash, North Manchester, and Peru. All Wabash and Miami County entries are on display in the Clark Gallery at the Honeywell Center through December 8. The Wabash County competition is sponsored by the Robert & Peggy McCallen Banner Contest Endowment, with Miami County sponsored by First Bank of Berne and Huckleberry Line Solar Project with additional support provided by the Beta Gamma Chapter of Psi Iota Xi.
The arts have a proven, substantial impact during formative years by improving academic performance, motor skills, confidence, creativity, focus, and collaboration. Honeywell Arts In Education is a collection of programs created for educators to reap these developmental benefits in the classroom.
Programs are offered at little or no cost to the schools, allowing all students to participate regardless of socioeconomic situations. A complimentary component to school art classes, exhibits and contests featuring original student artwork are held throughout the school year.
