SD#22 Elementary Student Exhibition: Art from the Heart
March 17 - April 14 , 2016
The artwork in the annual exhibition Art from the Heart, by elementary students from School District #22, delights viewers with their creations, under the guidance of their art teachers. The students often portray the world that surrounds them, or in other cases, they directly reference their experiences through the language of visual forms. Their uninhibited approach to art-making reflects the students' natural inclination and desire to communicate. The exhibition Art From the Heart is proudly sponsored by Kal Tire.

Art From the Heart opens on Thursday March 17th, and the opening reception takes place at the Gallery on Saturday, March 19th, from 1:00 pm - 3:00pm. This event is open to the public and the community is invited to attend.  Enjoy coffee, tea, cookies and fruit punch.
