Original artists sought in student art removal at Carson City's Seeliger Elementary

CARSON CITY — Nearly two dozen pieces of student artwork, which previously decorated the walls of the corridors of Seeliger Elementary School, has be removed and hopefully will be reunited with their original creators or family members. The alumni pieces date back as early as 1982, are neatly framed and range from kindergartners to fifth graders.

Below is a list of Seeliger student names and years who created artwork that has been on display at the school for years. School officials are encouraging any owners, family members, friends or acquaintances to reach out to the school to collect the creative pieces between June 20 to July 3.

Members of the community who may know the named artist or their families are encouraged to call the school, 775-690-2056. Since the main office is now closed, they will need to make an appointment with the custodial staff.

Any unclaimed art will be disposed of by Tuesday, July 3 2018.
