“This exhibit is a celebration of color and imagination,” said Karen Reckner, executive director of the arts council. “The children have expressed themselves in their own fun and unique ways.” Pictured above left is a painting by Lori Lytle, a second grader at Friendsville Elementary School, and at right is a collage work by Alexia Wolf, a first grader of Kitzmiller Elementary. In addition to paintings and collages, the exhibit includes yarn art and re-purposed items such as sea shells and buttons. Some students created self-portraits, and others worked to recreate the style of master artists. The exhibit will be on display through March 30. The public is encouraged to visit. The gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday. For more information, persons may call 301-334-6580.

Feb. 4, 2010

The Art Gallery of Garrett College has announced a sale of art to benefit the people of Haiti. Local artists are being asked to donate original works of art for sale at reasonable prices to raise funds for Haiti relief.
The show and sale will be Valentine’s Day, Sunday, Feb. 14, from 1 to 4 p.m., and is scheduled to coincide with a massive world wide initiative in the art community referred to as “Help–Portrait Haiti.” Thousands of art sales will be occurring all over the world on Valentine’s Day as an expression of “love” for the people of Haiti. All proceeds (100%) will go to Haiti through the internationally recognized “Hope For Haiti Now” organization.

“The crisis in Haiti is an emergency that requires our attention immediately, as well as our assistance for many years to come,” said a spokesperson. “Musicians have held concerts, celebrities responded, and many relief agencies and church organizations have hastened to the call. Now, artists are joining the effort with a belief that there is power in numbers, and we can make a difference.”
