Viktor Schreckengost: National Centennial Exhibition
Viktor's work is recognized widely but his name is known by few. The Viktor Schreckengost National Centennial Exhibition finally gives Viktor a place in the national spotlight. This spring, over a hundred exhibitions across the United States are showcasing Schreckengost works in celebration of his 100th birthday on June 26, 2006. America will find Viktor's work in a variety of venues, including art and ceramics museums; pedal car and bicycle collections; restaurants and libraries; historical societies and archives; military museums and a mounted police stable; parks and churches; public schools and private homes. The diversity of audiences reached by the National Centennial Exhibition illustrates Viktor's far-reaching impact into several industries and art communities, and pays tribute to the artist's creed that "good design should be available to everyone."
     The Viktor Schreckengost National Centennial Celebration is being organized by The Viktor Schreckengost Foundation. 100 different venues will show Viktor Schreckengost art and design works between March 18 and June 26, 2006. http://www.viktorschreckengost.org/

The annual Regional High School Art Exhibition is an invitational exhibition, with nearly 75 schools from Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas asked to participate.
     Each full-time art instructor from the invited schools may submit five original artworks created during the 2004-2005 school year, not previously exhibited at the Albrecht-Kemper.
