Start with Art

Join us for our 12th annual Start with Art exhibition at the Seymour Art Gallery! This truly unique exhibition focuses on engaging, inspiring, and encouraging children to appreciate, collect, and curate their own art collection. With an added emphasis on motivating children to create art, participating artists offer advice for budding artists, share childhood memories about art-making, and frequently spark the idea in kids that one day their work could be shown in a gallery too.

We’ve assembled a fantastic group of established artists who work in a diverse variety of media. The artwork is hung at “kids-eye-view” and is priced in a kid-friendly range, making Start with Art truly kid-centric.

Featuring artwork by:
Kristian Adam, Rachael Ashe, Michael Binkley, Yvonne Hachkowski, Andrea Hooge, Shima Itabashi, Julia Kreutz, Meghan Parker, Anne Love, Ron Love, Monique McEwen, Kim O’Brien, Robin Reid, Sarah Ronald, Mary Anne Tateishi, Liane McLaren Varnam, Kate Whitehead and Arleigh Wood

Reception: Sunday April 24, 2 – 3:30 p.m.
