Elliott's show has an opening this Saturday, March 22nd @ 12:00 for those interested in seeing great art in a beautiful place. Speaking of that beautiful place, a huge BHS community partner shout out to Catie Fyfe for getting us in the door at Long Pasture, and Ian Ives and Hayley Winfield for being so welcoming!

Check out Fernanda Maia's visual meditation on the trials and triumphs girlhood located right across from Ten Pin at the Cape Cod Mall!

Another everlasting thank you to Alena Reardon for providing the exhibition space! Check out Fernanda's slideshow and a video of her work!

Caylin Rockwell's exploration of fear, attraction, and the macabre is up on display at the Black Pearl Tattoo Studio on Main Street!

The Memory Project is a unique project in which art students create portraits for children around the world who have been neglected, orphaned, or disadvantaged. This year, Ms. Fay Smith's Studio Art students created portraits for children in India. The video below shows the heartwarming impact of our students' lovingly created portraits being delivered. Tissue Warning! This one is a happy tear jerker, might want to watch with a tissue.
