Joplin Area 3rd Graders React to SuperPly Exhibit
SuperPly and Friends was recently on display at the Spiva Center for the Arts in Joplin, MO as part of their exhibit Wild Things: The Art of Christopher Lynch and Barbara Martin. The Southwest Missouri Third Graders Collaboration, an annual program sponsored by General Mills, brought students from area public schools, private schools and homeschool groups to immerse themselves in the world of art through this exhibit. By all accounts it was a hit!
