Meet the 2027 GHS "Lucky 5"!
Congratulations to Galesburg High School juniors Cora Dunn, Josh Dixon, Owen Chansler, Pola McClure, and Elliot Crowl, who have been selected by GHS visual arts teachers for this special opportunity!
Each student will receive $400 to spend on art supplies from Blick, thanks to the generosity of the Galesburg Community Foundation Joy Fund, which makes this opportunity possible for five GHS students each year.
Selected for their passion for art and motivation to create, the students will receive their supplies in December and spend the next several months creating original artwork. Their work will be featured in a gallery show at the Galesburg Community Arts Center in September 2027 in celebration of National Arts in Education Week.
👏 Help us congratulate these talented students!
Want to see the work of the 2026 Lucky 5? Their artwork is on display through October 31 in the second-floor RAIL Gallery at the Galesburg Community Arts Center. Stop by and check it out!
