On Wednesday last week 14 seniors from Mrs. Becker's Spanish class visited the Mattie Rhodes Cultural Center in Kansas City.
The Mattie Rhodes Art Gallery was established in 1999 to provide emerging and established Latino artists a venue in which to display their art work, as well as a place for the community to celebrate and learn about Latino culture through visual arts. Mattie Rhodes continues to invite all artists to exhibit works that explore themes important to the Latino culture. They strive to educate the public about the importance of the arts and bring together many cultures within our communities.
