New collections of local student art are now on display in select Veridian Credit Union branches across Iowa, including in Ankeny, Cedar Rapids, Coralville, Waterloo and Waverly. Each collection is borrowed from local high school art classes and is also available online at veridiancu.org/artshare. ArtShare is 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.
“Veridian created ArtShare more than 20 years ago in partnership with local schools to display students’ art in our branches,” said Julie Gage, Veridian’s public relations strategist. “We’re grateful for the chance to display these pieces and hope each collection expands the students’ audience and local appreciation for their talent.”
