Whitewater Arts Alliance celebrates young artists in April

The Whitewater Arts Alliance will be celebrating the work of young artists though a virtual exhibit made available on its website. 

The works within the upcoming exhibit are made by students, ages 4 to 18, and will be on display beginning Friday, April 9, and remain available for viewing online until Saturday, April 24. In-person viewing will not be available as the gallery at the Cultural Arts Center will be closed throughout the month of April, according to information recently released by the Whitewater Arts Alliance. 

The exhibit will include visual two-dimensional artwork made by students attending schools within the Whitewater Unified School District. 

Teachers contributing student work to this exhibit 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.

Describing the mission of the Whitewater Arts Alliance and its connection to student art, Whitewater Arts Alliance President Kristen Burton said: “Part of the Whitewater Arts Alliance’s mission is to promote arts education. This collaborative exhibit between the Whitewater Unified School District and the Whitewater Arts Alliance supports that mission, provides the community an opportunity to follow the developing talents and careers of our up-and-coming artists, and fosters a positive environment for life-long learning and creativity.”

Those interested in viewing the show can do so by visiting the Whitewater Art Alliance’s website: www.whitewaterarts.org.
