The Bradley County Student Art Contest under the direction of Sandra Gatling was held in April. Students from Warren and Hermitage grades 9-12 in the classes of Janey Sanders and Laura McKinney submitted works which were judged by Mary Julia Moore, artist and designer, who also owns Just Julia Art..
The art was on display at SE Arkansas Regional Library in Warren for two weeks with an Open House held on April 11, 2026, Members of Warren Woman’s Club are very appreciative of the support of the librarian, Julie Hamilton and staff as well as the schools for support with this project.
