Booths will be available to non-profit/civic organizations and city groups for a nominal fee.
Eyes of the Future Look at the Past: Student Art Show
The Art Literacy Program is participating in the Lake Oswego Reads Program and the Centennial Celebration! With the help of over 300 volunteers, the Art Literacy Program teaches art appreciation to Lake Oswego school children.
This year, students studied art produced around 1910, the year Lake Oswego was incorporated into a city. Bryant School studied Piet Mondrian's abstract paintings. Hallinan School discovered Henri Matisse's paper collages. Rivergrove looked at Grandma Moses' landscapes and Uplands School examined Alexander Calder's wire sculptures.
Students used this history to create their own early 20th Century art. This art is on display at the West End Building (4101 Kruse Way) through April 29th.
