Eastern Panhandle artists, Martinsburg High School students participate in ‘Handmade in America’ art project

Heatwole and the Martinsburg High School Art Department plan to send across America a 53-inch trailer decorated with two giant paint-by-the-numbers murals. Rather than traditional paint and brushes, students from different states will add their mark by placing their painted hand prints upon the truck.

Heatwole, a known advocate for the arts, is recognized for creating projects that bring people together in a collaborative effort.
