Take a fun stroll through the candy-colored mind of the youthful artist.  This month at Vera, Seattle Girls’ School 8th grade artists present a sparkling range of work featuring bold prints, wild colors, and experimental outfits to brighten the spirits.  The 8th Grade art experience at SGS is unlike most 8th grade art curricula.  After three years of building foundational skills in drawing, painting, sculpture, etc., the girls are given absolute freedom to develop an independent body of work.  Resident Artist, Kyle Cook, says “the girls were extremely joyful learners. There was rarely a class without laughter and an exuberant energy.”  They dug deeply within themselves as they articulated their vision…and a beautiful vision it is! Show is through the end of the April.

Art Opening is scheduled for Thursday, April 5th from 6-8pm.  Light refreshments provided.
