A Night of Art and Music

“Art is the window to man’s soul.”-Lady Bird Johnson

With art programs being trimmed in schools, we decided to hold our annual Art Show and Open Mic Night as a way to support and encourage youth to develop their creativity. This year, 9 winners from the art show will be spending a 3-hour group painting lesson with world known, local artist Karl Eric Leitzel.

Open to the community, the art show displayed art work by 18 teens in a variety of mediums such as drawing, painting, and photography. Friends, family, and people from all over Penns Valley came out to support the young artists. The talent was amazing!

Along with the art show, we joined with the Old Gregg School Community Center for their monthly Open Mic Night. After everyone admired the artwork, they loaded up their plates with food and sat around the gym listening to performers on the stage. Many of the teens took a turn at the mic.

Check out photos from the evening on our Facebook page! We can’t wait for next year…so get painting!
