Out of the Schoolhouse’ is an exhibit open for everyone who considers themselves at the beginning of their art career. We are really excited to find and feature new 2 and 3-dimensional work from our area!
Art has played an increasingly important role in our lives and we hope this exhibition will highlight that importance.
