The Mattawoman Creek Art Center is hosting the 11th annual Six Picks High School Exhibit. I was asked to present the awards to the winners at a reception on Sunday. It was a wonderful opportunity for these young people to have their work displayed in a professional art gallery. The real excitement for me was seeing everything come together so well in support of our young people. The kind of commitment displayed by the teachers, parents and art community is what makes these events so successful and important for our youth. Teachers from each of the six high schools pick art to fill the 100 slots available. The exhibit will run through February 15th.

Thanks. I’m always looking for opportunities to help our young people. Let me know if you have any suggestions of other areas where I might be able to help.

Thanks for coming out on a weekend. It was nice to see you and your colleagues. My daughter was thrilled to have her art displayed and for people to make a fuss over it.

I am glad that your daughter got to see her work displayed. I have always enjoyed art and seeing the expression that young people give to their work. I am having fun with our “little gallery” here in the House of Delegate hallway with the art from the Old Durham Church Art Camp and showing it off to visitors.
