KEYSER - Students at the Mineral County Technical Center have traditionally studied subjects like carpentry, mechanics, agriculture and nursing - all of which require much hands-on practice.
Starting this year, some of the students will be gaining hands-on experience in art, thanks to a cooperative program between the Tech Center, Highland Arts Unlimited, and the art teachers at Keyser and Frankfort high schools.
Highland Arts, which sponsors the mural program that has resulted in artwork being placed on the amphitheater in Brooks Park and the front of the Law Building, and the one currently being painted on the side of Solar Mountain Records, has expanded that program to include several murals to be placed on the outside walls of the Tech Center.
