While the teen-aged artists are no longer Van Wert Middle School students, an art project they were involved with as eighth graders received some recognition albeit a year late, due to the COVID-19 pandemic Wednesday evening at the YWCA of Van Wert County.
YWCA Outreach Coordinator Kelly Houg opened the ceremony to unveil seven paintings that represent the words in the YWCA’s mission statement: “Eliminate racism, empower women, promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.”
