This seems very fitting for the close of our Art Academy Classes for this summer. Ms. Barb Dark did the most fantastic job, and the kids were so involved with the Van Gogh theme. Thank you for all the praise but it truly belongs to Ms. Barb. We love her. 💖

Our new "Spotlight" of the month --Mercedes Barroso and her daughter, Mikayla. For Mercedes and her daughter, Mikayla, volunteering at the Carnegie Center for the Arts is a true family tradition. Housed in Dodge City’s beautifully preserved historic 1907 Carnegie Library building, the center is a hub of culture and community. You can often find Mercedes and Mikaya working side-by-side to ensure these walls remain a vibrant sanctuary for local artists.
Mercedes, a long-time advocate for the arts in Southwest Kansas, finds immense joy in helping out at the information desk and preparing for the center's lively Final Friday events. Mikayla, who brings a fresh, energetic perspective, loves assisting with family-friendly programs, children's art activities, and helping local makers set up their gallery exhibits. Together, this dynamic duo has donated countless hours, whether they are decorating for a themed art class or simply helping guests explore the gallery space. It was important for Mercedes to instill in her daughter the importance of community service. We are grateful that she chose the Carnegie Arts Center.
For Mercedes and Mikayla, it isn't just about giving back—it's about preserving a vital part of Dodge City's history while fostering a space where creativity can thrive for the next generation.
