The Mission and objective of this program is twofold: (1) To celebrate the memory and art of the late Rex Denton Jr. by encouraging the artistic development of the students of Fordsville Elementary. (2) To recognize the outstanding artistic achievements of Fordsville students with grade specific awards for their participation in the Annual Rex Denton Pencil Portrait Awards Program.
The Fordsville Historical Society is pleased to announce our partnership with Fordsville Elementary School to establish the Rex Denton Jr. Artistic Achievement Awards Program.
Fordsville lost a gifted artist and beloved citizen in 2014. Rex Denton Jr. passed away on October 21, 2014 at the age of 95. His artistic contribution to our community is immeasurable.
