EXHIBITIONS!

An important part of making art is looking at art. This time of year, Murray's students, staff, and families are invited to look carefully at a sample of artwork from around the county, during our 21st Annual Fine Arts Festival. This sprawling event takes place in the public spaces of Fashion Square Mall, from March 2 through 16th this year. Come stroll and enjoy student creations!

A second, more intimate exhibit will take place at CitySpace, on our downtown pedestrian mall,  featuring 2-4 works from each Albemarle school. This display will be up from March 5 - 25, with an  opening reception on the evening of March 7th. You can find directions and out more about CitySpace here.

In addition, Mrs. Corradino (VLM's music teacher) and I are co-planning a Final 5th grade Art Exhibit & Performance to take place at VLM the evening of Thursday April 24th, at 630 pm. We look forward to hosting Murray families and teachers with a reception and celebration of student art-making!

*Finally, a special congratulations to Trevor D. whose work was chosen to display in Richmond at Representative Landes' office,  hopefully a reminder to our legislators that Art matters in Virginia.

What art exhibits have you seen that you remember?
