Larchmont Public Library Announces Student Art Exhibit Coming in April 2014

The Larchmont Public Library is pleased to announce a new partnership with Mamaroneck High School’s Art Department for a student art show in the Library’s Oresman Gallery in April, 2014.  The student art exhibit, which is anticipated to become an annual event, is scheduled to open on Wednesday, April 2, and will be on display throughout the month. A reception during the exhibit for the student artists is also being planned.

“We’re very glad to have this chance for our students – particularly our middle-level students – to exhibit their artwork in a very nice, serious venue in the community”, said Kevin Klein, Chairman of the Art Department at Mamaroneck High School. “It’s exciting for the students to have the prospect of a real off-campus show in front of them. It spurs them to work extra hard to perfect their pieces and helps them to magically find the extra hours to do this. In addition, a show also gives the students some very real and persuasive compensation for their labor when people come to admire and praise it. It is a very authentic sort of assessment for their art. We’re grateful that the Larchmont Public Library can help us do this”.

“The Larchmont Public Library couldn’t be more pleased than to host an exhibit of art in our Oresman Gallery by the students of Mamaroneck High School”, said Laura Eckley, Library Director. “The exhibit will truly be a community event, providing students with the opportunity to display their work in a gallery environment, giving people in the area the opportunity to view and enjoy their work, and provides our library with an opportunity to support the arts program at Mamaroneck High School. We are looking forward to this becoming a successful annual event.”
