Reservoir No. 2. Oil on cradled gessoboard panel, 6x12I volunteered to help the Mystic Arts Center with its annual Young at Art show, for kids from o to 18. One piece per young artist, no fee, no jury.
Yesterday was the first of two receiving days; today is the second. Tuesday, we hang the show, which already involves nearly 200 pieces.
A whole lot of this art is just great. It's vibrant, free, and fun. A painting of a tiger haunts my memory this morning. A series of black and white paintings from a high school class has moved me to try the same. A piece by a child of 2, who had a blast with some blue paint and a brush, well, if it was for sale, I'd buy it.
The show opens Saturday, and is up for the month of March. If you're around Mystic and needing inspiration, check it out.
Here are some exhibit opportunities in the coming week:
