PELHAM — Pelham Elementary School and The Mill District General Store & Local Art Gallery invite the public to celebrate an installation called “Pieces of Us,” which is a mosaic by over 120 students at Pelham Elementary School aged 5 through 12.
The open house will be this Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This Front Window Exhibit was organized by Emily Stewart, the art teacher at Pelham Elementary.
“It is inspired by classroom dialogues around identity and the many characteristics that shape our school community,” Stewart said in a statement. “Each student had full control over their creative expression, within Pelham’s choice-based art studio. The selections they made in subject, media, style, and design invite us to embrace the beauty of their collective diversity and the mosaic of their varied experiences.”
Gallery Coordinator Shannon Youtsey Borrell said The Local Art Gallery exhibits the works of over 30 local artists at any given time. With the young artists from Pelham Elementary joining us in the Front Window Gallery, for the next month the gallery is exhibiting over 150 local artists.”
The exhibit “Pieces of Us” runs through Saturday, April 27.
