High School Art Downtown is featured at Gallery 194 in downtown Lapeer through May 14th displaying work of students engaged in studying art from Lapeer, North Branch, Almont and home school programs. On Friday, May 6, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. student artists will be on hand for a free opening with live music by Deb & Em, food and artistic conversation. The public is encouraged to venture to downtown Lapeer and enjoy the experience.
“Student art always inspires,” comments Gallery Director, Carolyn Manley McCarter. “This has become an annual event, and every year students stretch our imaginations working in a variety of mediums: clay, plaster, paint on canvas, fiber, photography, photography and mixed media. Some of these students are on their way to art school. Some not. But every one of them has important ideas to share and the Lapeer Center for the Arts Council is dedicated to providing an exhibit space accessible to the general public showcasing the depth of young talent in the region.”
Gallery 194 is located in downtown Lapeer at 194 West Nepessing Street and is open 11a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is free.
