(Saco, ME) Last year, the Saco Museum's biennial student art show set a record for attendance while showcasing the work of local students in our public schools. This year, the Saco Museum is pleased to present "Practicing What We Preach: Work by Maine Art Teachers," organized by the Maine Art Educators Association. The exhibition brings together the creative work of art educators from around the state and celebrates the studio practice and exploration that takes place beyond the classroom. This show featuring over 45 artists, includes a variety of media, including drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, and fiber arts. Artists represented in this show teach in Maine's public and private schools and universities and are members of the Maine Art Educators Association, an arts advocacy organization that promotes the artistic learning of children, encourages innovation and research in art education, and the exchange of ideas and practices among teachers. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, January 23rd from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. For more information, please visit www.sacomuseum.org. |
