BOOTH WESTERN ART MUSEUM ANNOUNCES OPENING OF
BARTOW COUNTY AND CARTERSVILLE CITY SCHOOLS ART EXHIBIT
Sixth annual exhibition features more than 70 pieces of art!
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA – Booth Western Art Museum is pleased to announce the opening of the annual Bartow County and Cartersville City Schools Elementary Art Exhibit in Borderlands Gallery. On view through May 10, this year’s exhibition features 73 pieces by 70 students (plus the entire Pine Log student body – collaborative art project) that are representative of the work from our local city and many county elementary schools.
For the sixth consecutive year, art teachers from 9 Bartow County Schools as well as Cartersville Elementary School have selected the best pieces from their school to be represented in the show. All of the artwork displayed are pieces that have been created by the students, kindergarten through fifth grade, throughout the 2014-2015 school year.
While selecting only a small number of pieces of artwork from the entire school year is not always a very easy task, art teachers view this annual exhibition as a wonderful way to highlight the hard work and creativity of their students. Director of Education at Booth Museum Lisa Wheeler, a former art educator, believes it is important to support the talents of the young artists in the community. “Children need to see and know that their creativity is supported and appreciated. Booth Western Art Museum takes pride in providing a venue to showcase the work of emerging young artists. To have your work hanging in a Smithsonian Institute Affiliate Museum is a fairly large honor; I only hope that perhaps one of these young children will have their work hanging here – or in another art museum – in the future as their passion and talent for art grow.”
Visitors to Booth Museum during this show will see paintings, collages, clay pieces, woven pieces, and much more from the students of Adairsville, Allatoona, Cloverleaf, Clear Creek, Euharlee, Hamilton Crossing, Kingston, Mission Road, Pine Log, and Cartersville Elementary Schools. On Thursday, April 23 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, an exhibition opening reception will be held for the student-artists and their families.
