The Imagine Brandywine Exhibit is a collaboration between the Rose Tree Media Elementary Schools and the Brandywine Museum of Art. In this exhibit, there are 107 works created by the talented students of the Rose Tree Media elementary schools, with each piece representing artists and subjects that connect to the museum collection. The result of this effort is a fascinating display that creates a colorful and memorable experience for Museum visitors.

This exhibition features work by fifth grade students from Glenwood, Indian Lane, Media and Rose Tree Elementary Schools. Students created works of art inspired by one aspect of the museum’s artists’ creative vision including raven prints (Jamie Wyeth), floral collages (Clementine Hunter), mixed media trompe l'oeil still lifes (William Harnett), chair studies (Horace Pippin), shoe drawings (Andy Warhol), and clay flowers (Georgia O’Keeffe). We are proud of each student’s achievement.

Students art work will be exhibited from Wednesday, October 25 until Sunday, February 11. Hope you can stop by and see the wonderful artwork.

Prioritize your mental health! Good mental health can help you cope with stress and improve your quality of life. It’s okay not to feel okay; seek help and take care of yourself.

There’s a superpower we often overlook: EXERCISE. As adults, we know how a good workout can change our mood and outlook. But, it’s just as magical for kids and teens. So, let’s encourage our young ones to get moving! It’s not just about physical health; it’s a stepping stone to a healthier, happier mind.
