NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-The benefits of art to one's mental health has been studied and proven for years. Because of this, the Prairie Arts Center (PAC) in North Platte is getting creative to make art available to the community.
PAC will be providing the "Images of Hope Art Walk" over the next few weeks.
"As PAC is closed to the public, community members have not been able to view artwork and gallery pieces, so we're bringing the artwork to the public," said PAC Executive Director Holly Carlini.
Area artists were asked to paint, draw, or create large artwork images that will be placed in the windows of PAC for the community to view.
PAC will also host prize giveaways on their Facebook page. Fans who answer questions about the Art Walk on Facebook will be eligible for prizes.
"This is a chance to spread color, a positive community message, and a fun outdoor activity that boosts creativity," Carlini said.
The artwork pieces will be placed in the windows over the next few weeks. Follow PAC on Facebook for more details.
