Cool Kids Show

While I was at the Foundry for the plein air sale, I wandered through the other galleries. Currently on display are a juried painting exhibition, which features some beautiful works including a large four-panel piece by Lisa Linke, a retrospective of Brother Mel's work and some interesting video pieces, including work by Michael & Alan Fleming integrating their forms/bodies into architecture and other spatial studies.

In the children's gallery was the annual Mentor Me exhibit through Mosaics. I was previously unfamiliar with this program, but it's a really cool concept. Select students are chosen from each of various schools and some of their works shown in an exhibition alongside of their teachers' works. It was really cool to see both ends of the school art programs, from the standpoint of the works being created in classes by students and works created by their teachers/mentors. Unfortunately if you haven't seen it already you missed it (the show came down today).
