Student art chosen for this year’s Gumtree exhibit will be on display throughout the week. By Emma Crawford Kent Daily Journal TUPELO – For the next week, visitors to the Gumtree Museum of Art in downtown Tupelo will see hundreds of pieces of student artwork on display made by Lee County Schools first- through sixth-graders. The art is part of the “Impressions” exhibit at the museum which includes student-made art in a variety of mediums from paint to mixed-media to sculpture.

Students got a chance to share and celebrate their work with family and friends Tuesday night at a public reception at the museum. Gena Yarbrough, elementary art coordinator for Lee County Schools, said the annual exhibit is a good way to bring community members into the museum and showcase the talents of Lee County students. “I think it gives them (the students) a real sense of pride in their work,” Yarbrough said. There are between 700-800 pieces of student art in the exhibit.
