The B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center has begun exhibiting artwork from students around Sunflower County. The third exhibition will open Monday, May 17 and be on display in the Gin area at the Museum through the end of June.  This show will feature pieces from Merritt Middle School and Gentry High School.  A reception will be held Monday, May 17 at 5:30 p.m. for students and their families to discuss their artwork and enjoy refreshments.  Mr. Tanarri Moore, music instructor at Merritt Middle, along with his students, will provide the entertainment during this event! The public is invited to attend as well.

School teachers and art enthusiasts in the area have joined with the Museum to form a committee to offer ways to embrace and support students’ creative endeavors. In addition to visual art shows, students will have opportunities to perform song, dance and theater.

The committee plans to showcase student exhibits each month featuring different grades from all Delta. We welcome submissions from all Delta schools.
