An opening reception will be held on March 7 from 5-9 p.m., where attendees will have the opportunity to meet the first two student artists, Emma Chouinard and Reese Haselden. Admission is free to the public.

“We are excited to provide a space where young Artists can showcase their creativity, gain exposure in the art world and cultivate the experience of exhibiting their artwork in a professional setting alongside established, local Artists – who can also offer advice and guidance for their futures” said Mare Martelli, Owner of Art Collective Gallery
