Chaffee hosts annual student exhibit and digital expression

Theme “Expressions of Me” exhibit opening is by reservation

Friday, April 23—RUTLAND—The Chaffee Art Center is proud to again showcase young artists from dozens of Vermont schools and homeschoolers for this annual student exhibit and takes great pleasure in creating an opportunity for these talented young people to be inspired by seeing their artwork, and the works of others, displayed in our professional gallery housed in an historic 1890s mansion.

This year’s theme, “Expressions of Me,” encourages students to create works that reflect themselves — how they feel, how they see things. Entries in all of the arts were encouraged (art medium, theater, culinary, poetry, music, literature and more). Only works by students in pre-school and grades K-12 were eligible for this show.

The exhibit opening will be on April 23 from 4-6:30 p.m. with reserved time slots (4 p.m., 4:30 p.m., 5 p.m., 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m., with more added if needed).

The Chaffee Art Center is located at 16 South Main Street in Rutland. For more information visit chaffeeartcenter.org.
