The St. Michaels Art League is pleased to announce an exhibition of the original artwork used to create the 2019 “Celebrate St. Michaels” banners that will be displayed on the town utility poles beginning in April.
The show will be judged by Johnny Mautz, Maryland House of Delegates Representative for District 37B. Mr. Mautz is a resident of St. Michaels and the manager of the Carpenter Street Saloon in St. Michaels. Separate Awards will be given in the categories of artistic merit and graphic design.
The exhibit includes banner art created by four AP art students from St. Michaels Middle High School: Elizabeth Scharch, Eve Yacopino, Lillian Muckelroy and Georgia Kline, all students of Bridget Whited, Visual Arts Educator. The cost of the student banners is covered by the League through a grant from the Talbot County Arts Council.
The banner artwork will be displayed April 3-30 at the St. Michaels Library during regular library hours: Monday and Thursday 9am-8pm; Tuesday and Wednesday 9am-6pm; and Friday/Saturday 9am-5pm. Original banner artwork is for sale. For more information go to smartleague.org or call 410-745-5146. This program is funded in part by a grant from the Talbot County Arts Council with revenue provided by the Maryland State Arts Council.
