Lake Red Rock presents Junior Duck Stamp Artwork on Display
2016-07-09 - 2016-08-21
Come see Iowa's 2016 Junior Duck Stamp Contest winners from students in grades K-12. The exhibit includes 36 pieces of artwork of Iowa's first, second, and third place winners. Rae Clinkenbeard, a 17-year-old from Denison, was awarded the 2016 Iowa Best of Show winner. Rae's entry was a hooded merganser done with colored pencils. Her original artwork was sent to Washington, D.C. to participate in the national contest and is now traveling the United States as part of the best of show winners from all fifty states. Also included in the exhibit this year are 16 winners from the Ukraine. This project, known as the Iowa USA/Vinogradovsky District Ukraine Student Art Exchange Project, made its debut in 1999. After a break of several years, the project is up and running again. Marvin Campbell, a resident of Newton, Iowa, is the chairperson for the Iowa/Cherkasy Sister States program OPEN - Organization Promoting Everlasting Neighbors. As part of this cultural exchange, the 2015 Iowa winners are on display in the Ukraine, while the Ukrainian contest winners travel Iowa with the Iowa winners. Open 9:30am-6pm daily at the Red Rock Visitor Center.
