Youth Art Month (YAM) Opening Reception
Join us in celebration of our Youth Art Month (YAM) exhibition on March 3 from 4 – 6pm. This year marks our 9th annual YAM exhibition and we’re thrilled to be able to expand this program by partnering with Colby’s Greene Block + Studios. Student work will be displayed at both Ticonic Gallery + Greene Block + Studio. This year’s theme is Your Art, Your Story.
In conjunction with March First Friday, create your own movable self-portrait puppet with stamps, collage and more! This project ties into Take the World in Your Arms, the Ashley Bryan/Paula Wilson exhibit at the Colby’s Joan Dignam Schmaltz Gallery, and Your Art Your Voice, the Youth Art Month exhibit at Ticonic Gallery + Studio.
