Works of art made by students between the ages of 4 and 18 will comprise the next featured exhibition at Whitewater’s Cultural Arts Center, 402 W. Main St., according to a recent news release.
The works also will be shared virtually through the Whitewater Arts Alliance’s website.
According to the release, the show will feature two-dimensional artwork made by students attending schools within the Whitewater Unified School District (WUSD).
The in-person gallery exhibition opens Saturday, April 9, and will remain available for viewing until Sunday, April 24. During the show, the gallery opens weekly, Thursday through Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m.
Additionally, a reception will be held Saturday, April 9, between 1 and 4 p.m., and will feature musical performances given by WUSD students.
In conjunction with the gallery exhibition, an “Art Walk” will be presented on Main Street.
According to the release, several downtown businesses will display student artwork.
Opportunities for food and drink will be available.
Art teachers, including 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, will be contributing work made by their students for inclusion in the show.
“The WUSD art teachers are thrilled to display student work from across the district for all to see in the beautiful Whitewater (Cultural) Arts Center. The additional art walk to downtown businesses and extensive music offerings at the reception … adds a new dimension to the youth arts experience. It is an honor for the Whitewater Arts Alliance to showcase the youth in our community,” Christine Hayes, chairperson of the youth exhibition, was quoted as saying in the release.
