Art from Stockton Students

Works created by high school students from Stockton area high schools will be on exhibit during the month of May at downtown Stocktons Tidewater Art Center and Gallery.

With the aid of a grant from the Stockton Arts Commission, the gallery is able this year to expand the juried show to all Stockton area high schools, both private and public. Todays art teachers provide an exciting variety of challenging art projects to students. The exhibit will reflect this with categories including, but not limited to, printmaking, photography, oils, acrylics, and sculpture.

The art show is the culmination of a multi-faceted program designed to mentor young artists. Other elements included visitation by Tidewater artists to art classrooms to discuss the business of art and to answer questions specific to the student art show, and workshops held at the gallery to help student artists learn to mat and frame their work.

The program offers the opportunity for one student to become a member artist at the Tidewater and receive mentoring and support from fellow artists while learning the complexities of the business of art.

A reception for students, friends and family will be hosted Friday, May 9, from 5-8 p.m

Date : May 6 - May 30,2008

Hours : Monday - Friday 10am -5pm , Saturday 11am - 3pm.

Location : Tidewater Art Center And Gallery , 223 East Weber Avenue.
