What happens when 100 young artists start with a small, blank canvas
The Arts Guild of Sonoma this month showcases 100 original works of art by Sonoma students in its annual “Small But Grand” art exhibit. The show, open now, runs through May 1. The gallery will host a public reception on Saturday, April 8, 5-7pm….Participating are Adele Harrison and Altimira middle schools, taught by Cheryl Coldiron, and Sonoma Valley High School, taught by Renate Kuprian. Each canvas measures 8×10” and was created especially for this show.
The high school students were free to use any style and theme. The middle schoolers based their works on their study of three different eras of 20th century art. The resulting pieces will be visible in the front window exhibit area of the Arts Guild gallery at 140 E. Napa St. Selected works will be available for purchase and all proceeds will go directly to the individual students.
The annual “Small but Grand” student art show has been hosted by the The Arts Guild of Sonoma for many years, funded by a grant from the Sonoma Plein Air Foundation, a Sonoma nonprofit organization dedicated to funding creativity development and arts in education for Sonoma Valley schools.
