New student art is on display in Veridian branches across Iowa
New collections of local student art are now on display in select Veridian Credit Union branches across Iowa, including in Ankeny, Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, Coralville and Waverly. Each collection is sourced by local high school art classes and is also available online at veridiancu.org/artshare. It’s made possible by ArtShare, a partnership between Veridian and 11 Iowa high schools to publicly display approximately 125 pieces of student art each year in five Veridian branches across the state. Each piece is professionally framed or enclosed for display in a branch for one year.
“ArtShare is a beloved, 20-year tradition of displaying art from local students in Veridian branches,” said Ashtin Hotek, Veridian’s public relations strategist. “We’re grateful to the teachers and students who allow us to display these pieces, and we hope our branches and website help expand the audience for their talents.”
