"You can't use up CREATIVITY - the more you use, the more you have." - Maya Angelou
It was a wonderful event to be able to gather once again, in person, to enjoy the presentation of Youth Art Month. The opening event was held April 20, 2023 in the Grand Hallway of Portland Middle School and the turn out was terrific!
Musical accompaniment was provided by Portland High Schooler Philip LeShane.
Gallery Owners Program
The Gallery Owners Program is an opportunity for interested students to create their own display and experience some of the tasks involved in selecting and presenting works for an art exhibition. Approved Gallery Owners will curate their own exhibition using their own work or collections. One of the tasks performed by museum and gallery curators is designing exhibitions, which can involve deciding themes, selecting artworks, and thinking carefully about where they are displayed for both visual and thematic reasons. Curators are also responsible for writing exhibition descriptions and object labels to accompany each work. Students will be asked to write a descriptive and interpretive material to accompany their exhibition. Approved Gallery Owners will be responsible for creating and displaying the work, including creating invitations to the Opening.
