Artwork produced by Northport Public School students will be on display for the public to view at the Northport Art Association (NAA) building on Thursday, May 16.
The open house art exhibition titled “J is for Juxtaposition” features over 200 unique pieces from Northport students in grades K-12, and includes a mix of art through various mediums, such as paintings, pottery, and sculptures. The school-wide project, which was made possible through NAA and the Gene and Judy Rantz Youth Fund, has been something that students have been working on since January.
“I always like getting the kids into the community and the community into the school. I’m excited that the kids will at least be able to see their artwork hanging up at a professional gallery and be proud of it,” said Northport school art teacher Jenny Evans. “There’s just a whole lot of exciting artwork that’s going to be on display.”
