Canvas Projects for KVR

Hillsboro's vibrant artistic spirit will be on display this March as local students join hundreds of community members Kickapoo Valley Reserve's Creative Communities Canvas Project. This year's theme, "Resilient," has inspired a wave of unique interpretations, all captured on small but powerful 6x6 inch canvases.
