The Montgomery Museum is hosting art from the majority of Montgomery County’s public schools, with the student art shows being highly attended and much beloved by the community. This show offers a combined vision of student art across the county and has been specially curated by Elementary School Art Teachers. The Montgomery Museum strives to serve all members of the community and by exhibiting student art the museum encourages youth to embrace their creativity and artistic skills.
“Featuring artwork outside the school building recognizes students' accomplishments and fosters a connection with their community. It elevates the value of their artistic expression and promotes a sense of civic engagement,” says Linda Hinson, an art teacher and Montgomery Museum Arts Advisory Committee member. “What I love about this show is the opportunity to celebrate our student artists in a setting that values the arts,” says Christiansburg High School art educator Carrie Lyons. “We are able to share their work with our community in a way that builds student confidence and encourages them to continue creating!”
The reception for the Elementary School Student Art Show will be held on Thursday,March 12, 4:30 -6:00 PM. Light refreshments will be served. Judging for the elementary show will be made by a local retired art educator and local artist. Ribbons, sketchbooks, and markers will be given to students earning an “Award of Excellence.”
