Celebrating Who I Am

"I used a mannequin head with various objects and paint to express my unique personality."
Christian (Age 13) Nashville, Tennessee

Celebrating Who I Am

"I am good at math. I like playing the violin. I also like reading, writing, and science. This painting was inspired by the artist Grandma Moses. Grandma Moses was inspired by the world around her and her paintings always included people in action."
Matthew (Age 10) Basking Ridge, New Jersey


Come view this incredible collection of artwork!  Look for three really cool activities to compliment this exhibit in May:  “Celebrate Who I Am Board game”, “Magnetic Faces” and Chalk Children”.
