The artwork of second grader, LillieAnne Peregory from Thayer Elementary, has been selected to be on display at the Missouri State Capitol through March 2022. Established in 2014, a joint effort between the Missouri Alliance for Arts Education, the Missouri Art Education Association, and sponsored by Senator David Pearce, the Senate Hall Art Exhibit showcases fine arts programs in all 34 Senate Districts. The exhibit is located on the grounds of the Capitol in the hallway that leads from Senate parking to the Capitol ground floor entrance. Thayer art teacher, Debbie Akery, submitted the artwork of 10 students. Each state senator selects an artwork from all the submissions from their district. Senator David Brown, District 16, selected LillieAnne’s artwork for the 2021 Exhibit. The winning artworks can be viewed at:
