The Whitewater Arts Alliance this month will be celebrating the work of young artists.
The annual young artists exhibition features work created by students within the Whitewater Unified School District between the ages of 4 and 18.

The exhibition will be available for in-person viewing between Thursday, April 13, and Sunday, April 30, during the gallery’s regular hours of operation, Thursdays through Sundays, from noon to 4 p.m.
The exhibition will include visual two-dimensional artwork made by students attending schools within the Whitewater Unified School District.
Teachers contributing artwork made by their students include: Justin Mane, Washington Elementary School; Sara Sixel, Lincoln Elementary School; Sara Brautigam, Lakeview Elementary School; Sarah Heyer, Whitewater Middle School, and Crystal Gill, Whitewater High School.
