Several Missouri State art students joined local area art supporters on a bus ride to the State Capitol on February 11th in celebration of Missouri Citizens For The Arts annual advocacy day.
At 2 p.m. that afternoon students witnessed the Missouri Arts Council present its 2009 Creative Community Award to the City of Springfield and the Springfield Regional Arts Council.
Students brought along some of their best artwork to exhibit in the Capitol Rotunda.
