LVCC School-Age Art To Be Displayed at Allentown Art Museum
Beginning June 3, LVCC families can view their children's artwork at the Allentown Art Museum. Nearly 100 children, ages five through 12, participated in Woven Welcome, a community-based art project conducted by the Allentown Art Museum. Woven Welcome utilizes weaving as a way to connect individuals and groups through the creative process. The program is the brainchild of local artist and Cedar Crest College Art Department Chair, Jill Odegaard. The colorful rug segments will be connected and then unveiled as part of larger exhibition at the Allentown Art Museum throughout the summer. Admission to the Museum is free on Thursdays from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. and Sundays from noon until 4:00 p.m. Read on...
