Showcasing Greene County’s Rising Stars
Greene County Council on the Arts is proud to present their 37th annual youth arts exhibit “Outside the Lines,” featuring artwork by pre-K through Grade 12 students from Greene County public, private and home schools. Outside the Lines 2017 will be on view March 4 through April 15, 2017. The opening reception will be held on March 4 from 2 to 4 p.m. at 398 Main Street, Catskill, NY.
“Outside the Lines” gives Greene County students the unique opportunity to exhibit their artwork in a professional gallery and allows visitors to see a wide cross-section of the diversity and promise of our county’s young creative talent. 2017’s exhibit promises to be a “tour de force” with youth art pouring in from all over Greene County, including Cairo-Durham, Coxsackie-Athens, Catskill, Greenville, Hunter-Tannersville, and Windham-Ashland-Jewett.
During the exhibit, the gallery bursts with a kaleidoscope of colors and designs found in students’ paintings, drawings, collages, photographs and mixed media works displayed “salon style” from floor to ceiling. In addition, this year GCCA is offering its new flat screen television to display short films and videos by students.
Greene County’s art teachers and administrators deserve a huge thank you for adding the “Outside the Lines” exhibition to their already busy schedules. The students, their families and the Arts Council depend on their generosity and creative energy to mount this extraordinary annual student art exhibit.
Greene County Council on the Arts is especially grateful for the support of the following donors to our youth arts programs: The Nan Guterman Foundation, the Town of Catskill, Stewart’s Holiday Match, Hudson River Bank & Trust Foundation, and private donors who contribute through GCCA’s Annual Teacher’s Tribute.
GCCA’s gallery, located at 398 Main Street in Catskill, is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. The exhibit is free and open to the public. More information is available by contacting 518-943-3400, gcca@greenearts.org or www.greenearts.org.
