YOUTH ART EXHIBIT AT CAPE MAY CITY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
WILDWOODS, LOWER TWP., CAPE MAY
WILDWOODS, LOWER TWP., CAPE MAY
Art work by children ages 6 – 14, both visitors and locals, will be showcased this Saturday, August 11 from 10 a.m. to noon in the first annual Center for Community Arts Summer Arts Camp Exhibit at Cape May City Elementary School, 921 Lafayette Street. One piece per participant was selected each week at the Center for Community Arts Summer YAP (Youth Arts Program) Camps in Wildwood, Lower Township and Cape May and the Kids Art Camp in Cape May since June 25.
In previous years, this exhibit was presented at the Noyes Museum of Art each fall, but this year the Center for Community Arts chose to make the exhibit during the summer in Cape May while visitors are still here, and to make it more accessible to participating families.
Summer YAP and Kids Camps are half-day visual arts camps, five days a week for up to eight weeks in the three towns. Each week a different medium or theme is explored under the guidance of professional artist-teachers. YAP (ages 10-14) art works include sculpture, photography, prints, collages, impressionistic and abstract paintings, pastels and jewelry. Kids Camp (ages 6-10) themes include Animals in Art, China in Art, Drawing & Printing from Nature, Central America in Art, Invention Convention, Eastern Africa in Art.
The camps each have one more week after the exhibit, August 13-17, and space remains for additional campers at this writing. For further information call 884-7525 or see www.CenterforCommunityArts.org.
The programs are supported by grants from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the Byrne Fund for Wildwood, the Wildwood Board of Education, the Township of Lower, the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, and many generous businesses and individuals.
