Artwork by a flock of ConVal High School Students

No Egrets: Artwork by a flock of ConVal High School Students will feature artwork created in the 2D Studio Art, 3D Studio Art, and ceramics classes taught by Karrie Mitschmyer, Ben Putnam, and Carolann Tebbetts. This exhibition is running in conjunction with the Children and The Arts Festival on May 18th and is based around the 2024 theme: “Birds of a Feather”.

 The opening reception will be held on First Friday, May 3rd, 2024, from 5-7pm and the exhibit will be on display from Friday, May, 3rd– Friday, May 31st.

 Throughout the duration of the exhibit the community will be asked to fold paper cranes to display in the library. The hope is to fold 1,000 cranes, based on the story of Sadako Sasaki. More information and corresponding books can be found on display at the library.

 In addition, the week before the Children and The Arts Festival, the library will have artwork on display in the Elizabeth Room. These pieces will be a collaborative art project between ConVal High School art students and Peterborough Elementary School 1st graders.
