Mustang Fine Arts Update #5
November 3, 2022
Mustang Teacher Art Show
You may not be aware of the amazing abilities of our own MPS visual arts educators. They are world class artists in their own right. We do not often get to see the work of these wonderful humans, as they are always showing their students' work and not their own. Now is your opportunity to see their work and you may be able to take some home with you. Please plan to join us for the very first MPS Teacher Art Show - November 10th at the Mustang Education Resource Center (909 S. Mustang Rd) from 4:30 - 7:00. Bring your family and friends!
