If you’ve visited the Student/Faculty Show (and if you haven’t, time’s running out!), you’ve noticed there was something pretty important missing from the walls — where are all the kids and teenage artists?
They aren’t forgotten! Our slate of youth and teen classes is well-represented in an exhibit just upstairs from the Gallery, on the second floor of the Torpedo Factory. Spring classes start in April, and Art Camp starts in June. We offer a lot more than we can fit in this exhibit, including ceramics, jewelry, and photography, so be sure to check out the catalog at the links above.
Like the downstairs show, this one only up through Sunday, so catch it while you can!
