"Both of these young artists have captured the essence of rural Michigan in unique and inspiring ways," Kunse said.

The theme of the art competition was “Celebrating Rural Michigan through Art."

Kunse also thanked Harrison Middle School, Farwell High School, Clare Primary, and GT Norman Elementary in Reed City for their support and participation. Each school was rewarded with $250 to purchase more art supplies for their students.

"It’s awesome to see such creativity and enthusiasm from our students," said Kunse. "Thank you to everyone who took part and keep exercising your artistic talents. It's an honor to have these pieces on display in my office as a representation of the 100th District in Lansing.”
