In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, The Archway in Kearney, NE, is hosting a festival called “The Big 250.” This collage, created by Lauren Bishop during her Independent Art class this past school year, was selected for their Americana art exhibition. It will be on display at The Archway between June 13-21, 2026. Author Description: “The idea for this piece was to capture the Statue of Liberty through many different lenses, time periods, and mediums. It was also important to me to incorporate the American Flag and Declaration of Independence into the collage to signify the roots of liberty in our country. The photos used, while most real life photography, also were meant to symbolize the abstract history of the country and all Lady Liberty has seen happen from her bay.” - Lauren Bishop Independent Art is offered to PCS high school students by Mr. Tristan Stephenson. One of the course requirements for students is to enter a piece of their artwork in a contest or show. 🇺🇸 #SupportTheArts #USA
