Open Special Days: Saturday March 21 from 10:00-3:00 and Sunday from 10:00-4:00. We encourage everyone to visit the student art show and the permanent collection.

Pictured below, from a past show, we ask each student to write an Artist's Statement for each piece they enter into the show. Some students write about the inspiration for their piece, or the story behind it. Some choose to describe how they created their piece - the paint or brushes or a special technique they learned in class. Reading their stories adds a wonderful depth to the artist and their artwork which you might not catch by just looking at the painting or sculpture!

Pictured below is from a past show. Stop by this Saturday or Sunday to view and read about the 2026 artwork. Sunday the awards will be given beginning at 2:30 pm.
