Student Art Show Draws Enthusiastic Crowd

MERF recently collaborated with the Mentone Arts Center to showcase a Native American art study created by students of Valley Head School. This unique creative effort was led by art teacher Caroline Moore. The public show drew an excited crowd of parents, students, and local supporters. Seeing the children’s joy as they led parents to see their work was both heartening and fun. Local art supporters provided refreshments for all to enjoy as they toured the gallery. MERF looks forward to hosting Family Art Night at Valley Head School next spring, an event open to the public. Stay tuned.
