Looking After: Art and Care in Education Across Kansas

These four etchings depict the natural and built landscapes of Kansas. Kansas native Mary Huntoon dedicated her life to the arts and art education, serving as the director of the Federal Art Project in Kansas from 1934–1938 and as a pioneer in the field of art therapy. Two of the etchings portray schools, underscoring the central role of education in shaping Kansas communities.
