Exhibition | Youth Art

This year’s art prompt is to draw, paint, or collage THE WAY I PLAY!

Kids of all ages are invited to pick up a free postcard or panel at the gallery, make a drawing, collage, or painting. Think about what play means to you — the games they love and the ways they have fun. “Play” can mean anything that makes you feel creative, adventurous, or joyful.

You might think about:
Your favorite games — board games, sports, video games, make-believe, or outdoor adventures
The people (or pets!) you love to play with
The places where you play — a park, your room, a backyard, or even a dream world
The feeling of play — excitement, teamwork, imagination, or laughter

Finished artwork will be exhibited in our Youth Art Show on display from February 1-28. Postcards are available now for pick up at the gallery, and are also distributed through the local schools.

COLLABORATIVE MURAL

The mural project recreates a famous painting, which is divided into 20 sections. Camden Hills High School Students in Carolyn Brown's Drawing & Painting class have each been assigned a panel to replicate their part of the image in the medium of their choice, focusing on matching value and color. Panels of collage connect to panels of paint, together making a large mural - measuring 6 feet high and 9 feet wide.

This year's mural is after Pieter Bruegel the Elder's Children's Games, painted in 1560!
