Each elementary school in Ashland, Holmes and Wayne Counties is invited to exhibit children's artwork at the Tri-County ESC office. The exhibit then rotates to the School Hallway Gallery at Wayne Center for the Arts for a second month of exhibition. Each month one student's artwork is professionally matted and framed to become part of a permanent collection of children's artwork.
The exhibit is designed to:
bring more K-6 children's artwork into the community;
demonstrate the artistic development of K-6 students and the quality of art instruction taking place; and
to create an opportunity for elementary visual art teachers to work together to build a sense of unity, community and cooperation.
The Junior High Art Exhibit (grades 7-8) has a dual purpose:

to promote public interest in and support for visual art education programs in our junior highs and middle schools by exhibiting the best examples of artworks created in visual art classes.
The First Place "Blue Ribbon" winners from the Junior High and High School Art Exhibitions are displayed at Buehler's Milltown. The exhibition space is highly visible and gets lots of compliments.
The High School Art Exhibit (grades 9-12) has a dual purpose:
