May 11 - May 21
Students in grades K-12 from the Kittery Schools
exhibit their work at the Kittery Art Association
May 11th through May 21st.
A visual tribute to all the hard work of Kittery's teachers and students, this show is about civic pride, a community of artists learning to draw, to paint and to work with a wide variety of art forms, and a moment to appreciate the teachers who are there to inspire the art.
The gallery will be open during regular hours through May 21st, so venture in to KAA and see how talented your local young artists truly are!
