Friday, Feb. 2, 7 p.m.—GRANVILLE, N.Y.— The Slate Valley Museum will host the third annual Artists of the Slate Valley, a student art show with works inspired by slate and living in the Slate Valley from elementary and high school students from the area. An opening reception will be held during First Friday, Feb. 2 from 7-9 p.m. and the show will run until March 24. This exhibit will showcase and unite the talent of students across the Slate Valley.

“The GHS students are always eager to participate in the Slate Valley Museum’s exhibition. Every year the students get to experience working with slate as a material or altering it in some artistic way. Every year we get different and unique compositions for this exhibit. We are fortunate to have the Slate Valley Museum in our back yard to help not only showcase the number one natural resource in our town, but also to praise and support our young and talented artists,” said Alexis McWhorter, art teacher at Granville Junior Senior High School.

During the opening night, SVM’s Teen Advisory Board will be hosting a drop-in craft workshop for kids of all ages. Slate Valley Museum is located at 17 Water St., Granville, N.Y. For more information, visit slatevalleymuseum.org.
