The Anderson Arts Center will open its annual Youth Art Month exhibit on Sunday from 1-3 p.m., featuring art from elementary, middle and high school students from public, private and home school associations in this juried art show.
Prizes will be awarded at 2 p.m. for each grade and category, with recipients receiving cash prizes or honorable mention ribbons.
In addition to the awards presented by the juror, some of the artwork will be chosen for an extended exhibition at AnMed Health, in the Gallery Cafe at McDougald Funeral Home, and our newest extended exhibit partner, Tri County Technical College Anderson campus.
In addition to the Youth Art Month exhibition, students of T.L. Hanna’s art department will present a Wearable Art Exhibition on Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Anderson Arts Center, and tickets are required. Tickets are $10 per person (children under 5 are free), and may be purchased at the T.L. Hanna front office or here.
Along with the student artwork, a district-wide teacher show is on display in the Atrium Gallery. Art teachers from all five public school districts are invited to participate, and this exhibit opens with a gallery reception on Thursday, March 3 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
