Nationally-Known Artist Donates Paintings To Volusia County Public Schools

Posted

Daytona Beach, FL - The Museum of Arts and Sciences, Volusia County Schools and Don Kennedy have joined together to foster love and appreciation for art among our youth.

Kennedy, a nationally-known artist, former Volusia County teacher and guidance counselor, plans to donate one of his original paintings to every Volusia County public school. The collection of 72 semi-abstract and expressionistic paintings reflect Mr. Kennedy's love for color as well as his generous spirit.

While working as a guidance counselor, Kennedy helped many students cope with their feelings. Now he plans to spread visual happiness throughout the school district by leaving a legacy of beauty for future generations. Kennedy believes that what one feels is equal to what one sees.

An opening reception for "A Legacy of Beauty for Volusia County Schools: The Paintings of Don Kennedy" will be held at the Museum of Arts and Sciences, 352 S. Nova Road, Daytona Beach, Saturday, May 20, from 3 PM to 5 PM.

Light refreshments will be served courtesy of FUTURES Foundation.
