HEMPHILL, TX – Hemphill ISD high school art students will again display their artwork in the museum as part of a special fundraiser through the end of February.
37 pieces of space-themed artwork from teacher Heidy Griffin’s classes will be on display in the main gallery and will be auctioned off.
In a wonderful gesture of support for our mission, the students have asked to split the proceeds with the museum.
To place a ‘bid’ on any artwork, individuals may call the museum at (409) 787-4827 during normal business hours (Tuesday-Saturday, 10 AM – 5 PM) and provide the code listed in the caption of each piece of art on our Facebook page. A staff member will provide the caller with the current highest bid.
Winning bidders will be contacted the first week of March. Shipping can be arranged for winning bidders out-of-town.
The ‘Remembering Columbia’ Museum aims to support and expand the arts in our community as part of a commitment to support of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) educational initiatives.
The Patricia Huffman Smith NASA Museum is located at 375 Sabine Street in Hemphill.
The Patricia Huffman Smith NASA Museum ‘Remembering Columbia’ serves as a memorial to the 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia tragedy and as an educational facility dedicated to creating science and technology-inspiring learning opportunities for children and adults.
