Young Artists' Exhibit at Heller Homestead Art Gallery

The Saucon Valley School
District and the Saucon Valley Conservancy are proud to announce the Fourth
Annual Young Artists’ Exhibit at the Heller Homestead Art Gallery, 1890 – 92
Friedensville Road (Water Street) in Lower Saucon Township. Under the direction
of Sandra Eckert and Brenda Stever, Saucon Valley High School students will
exhibit their work from April 30 through May 29, 2011.

 

We are excited to bring this
event to the community. The public is invited to attend and to offer
encouragement to the participating young artists at the “Meet the Young
Artists’ Reception” on Saturday, May 7, 1 – 3 p.m. This is a great opportunity
to highlight the Saucon Valley School District’s visual arts education program
and to foster the talent of young artists by providing a venue to showcase and
celebrate their work to the community.
