HALLOWELL — The Harlow Gallery is delighted to celebrate the young artists and visual arts educators with our 18th annual “Young At Art” Exhibition. On view through April 10, the exhibition displays over a hundred works of art from 10 area schools and independent art educators. As part of the Youth Art Month celebrations, the Harlow is also offering three educational workshops especially designed for children by three distinguished artists.
Art Connects Us All as the national theme for this annual celebration of young artists work, is particularly significant in this time, “there couldn’t be more of an important time to bring people together through art than now. The Harlow values art education and wants to support our area children and their art teachers,” said Marie Sugden, gallery director, in a news release.
Liam Wilmot, 13, of Hallowell, who attends instruction from independent art educator Helene Farrar said, “It’s really cool to share my paintings in a gallery. I know seeing art brings people a lot of joy. I hope I can do that.”
Area children in grades kindergarten through eighth under the instruction of listed art educators from these following schools include: Jeffery Orth of Richmond Middle School, Sandra Dunn of Chelsea School, Rosemary Ellis of Hall-Dale Elementary School, Nicole Blake of Readfield Elementary School, Wayne Elementary School, and Mount Vernon Elementary Schools, Amanda Trainor of Palermo Middle School and Whitefield Elementary School, Hope Lord of Maranacook Community Middle School, Jae-Eun Pilsbury ofDresden Elementary School, Kayleigh Pulsifer of Marcia Buker Elementary School and independent art educators Helene Farrar and Tim Christensen.
Tim Christensen, a master craft artist and independent art educator said in the release, “Art is our oldest, and most universally understood language. When people learn to speak visually, they can reach anyone.”
