Talbot Mentors invites the public to view artwork created by its students in partnership with local artists. The organization’s Partners In Art program matches artists with students to create works of art in a variety of media. The artists donate their time and talents to introduce students to new experiences in art, while the children’s mentors participate by providing transportation and encouragement.
The artwork will be displayed at a reception for the artists, students and mentors on Friday, April 10, from 5 to 7 p.m., at Ouvert, the gallery of artist Jen Wagner, located at 207 South Talbot Street in St. Michaels. The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
This is the seventh year for the Partners In Art program, which is sponsored by the Talbot County Arts Council, with funds from the Talbot County Council.
Artists participating this year include Peg Papa, Tom Ryan, Jen Wagner, Heidi Wetzel and Bronwyn Whaley. The artists offered seven students the opportunity to learn new skills such as painting, basket weaving, photography and mosaics.
