The exhibit includes two- and three-dimensional pieces in a diverse range of media, from ceramics to papier-mâché to painting to photography.
“We are really excited about the quality of the artwork on display this year,” noted Cathie Winnie, NSYMCA Visual Arts Director. “We’ve even had three phone calls from people interested in purchasing some of the artwork. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to see their work publicly displayed and appreciated.”
YMCA art teachers were on hand to host a reception for young artists and their families on Sunday, March 9. Families enjoyed refreshments and socializing with the teachers before exploring the exhibit to find their child’s project.
