• Special Exhibition of Heritage by Sherry Pettey

This summer area residents have the opportunity to view a work of art that’s not always on public display. Sherry Pettey’s painting Heritage normally hangs inside the library of Benton Elementary School in Neosho but due to renovations, the work is currently available for viewing at Southwest Missouri Bank (Neosho North) for the next three months.

The Neosho Arts Council has created a special reference brochure for the public to help guide them through the different elements of the painting and give some historical information and context.

Heritage is a 9 foot by 7 foot acrylic painting on three joined panels that was commissioned in 2006 by the Newton County Tourism Council. It was painted in a style that resembles the work of famed regionalist painter and Neosho native, Thomas Hart Benton. 

The bank invites everyone to stop by and enjoy this special exhibition opportunity.
