YCS Art

Ypsilanti students prepare for exhibit of their artwork in Washington, D.C.

When Ypsilanti Community High School art teacher Lynne Settles received a phone call from a former student saying that the U.S. Department of Education wanted to host an exhibit of Ypsilanti Community Schools (YCS) students' art, she thought it was a joke.

While talking to DOE staff in Washington, D.C., about their Student Art Exhibit Program, the former student had suggested that the DOE feature students from the school district he'd graduated from.

OTGYpsi: Ypsilanti Students Taking Their Art To DC

Ypsilanti Community Schools students are heading to Washington, D.C. to exhibit their art at the U.S. Department of Education.  Patrick Campion and Sarah Rigg speak with some of the students and a teacher involved in the project to find out how this happened, what the students are inspired to create, and how they're getting 60 students and teachers and chaperones to DC. Listen here and find more pictures and information about the project at Concentrate Media's site.
