Youth Art Month - State Level

Sunday, March 12 -- A reception was held in Austin to celebrate the Texas Art Education Association's Youth Art Month Exhibition. Two AISD students represented our district and had their artwork juried into the show: Selah G. and Hollie N. It was announced that Mrs. Cecelia Abbott selected Hollie’s piece (pictured here) for professional framing and display as part of The Governor’s Gallery, which will remain on view in the Governor’s offices for a full year. Congratulations, Hollie!

Galaxy Acrylic Pour

Thu, March 30 | 6 - 8pm

$30 | $25 for Grace Members

Join us for a Galaxy Acrylic Pour – a fun way of painting where the paint is poured onto the canvas and moved by tilting the canvas rather than being applied with a brush. Each painting will be unique! This is a great class for people intimidated by technical painting, or just a pro-painter looking to mix it up! Bring your favorite bottled beverage and sip while you paint.
