The National Art Honor Society of Kirkwood High School will host St. Louis artist Charles Houska in the school’s John Dean Gallery from Feb. 23 through March 18. Houska will speak with art students on Feb. 23 prior to an opening reception.
The Kirkwood School District community is invited to attend the opening reception on Feb. 23 from 3 to 4 p.m. to meet Houska and view his art. Houska will speak with art students prior to the opening reception.
Houska, a painter and graphic designer, opened his own gallery/studio in St. Louis in 1998. He describes his colorful works as “happy art.” In addition to his acrylic-on-canvas paintings, Houska paints murals and billboards. Major corporations, including St. Louis Children's Hospital, have commissioned Houska to create artwork for their specific needs.
Houska also works with school-age children through a program he calls Houskaballoo, in which he collaborates with students on mural projects in their schools.
