An Eye Toward The Future

Sat., Sept. 5, 1998

Kelli Styron, 10, of Cameron, La., was one of 50 young artists from across the nation armed with brushes and vivid imaginations who painted a 16-by-24-foot mural Friday depicting their vision of America in the year 2000 and beyond. The youths ages 8 to 12 gathered at the National Mall to complete the mural, which will displayed at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. Representing 30 states, Puerto Rico and Guam, the young artists were selected for their individual depictions of life in the new millennium.
