The Avon River Heritage Society (ARHS) invites you once again to attend in this year’s Great Little Art Show at Newport Landing.
For our 15th year, the ARHS is expanding the show’s organization to include the Hants County Arts Council. We are thrilled to work together with one of our long-standing community partners. We’ve adopted a theme for this year’s show, “Home is where the ART is”.
The Great Little Art Show is a major attraction in the community and is a significant fundraiser for the Avon River Heritage Museum. It is known as the area’s flagship show fostering local art talent of all ages, right here at home. This year this will truly be the case with the debut of our children’s art show, “The Great Little Youth Show” showcasing art from local youth under the age of 16, giving rise to a new generation of artists.
Newport Landing resident Jenny Mitson runs “Little Pumpkins” Daycare and is a pediatric nurse at the IWK. “I am so happy the museum is taking an opportunity to showcase local children's art work,” says Mitson. ”I feel very passionate about encouraging children to express themselves through art using what ever medium they choose allowing them to expose their individual uniqueness. Art is a huge self-esteem builder in a world that can be constricting for our children.”
The Lydia and Sally Café will be open to provide refreshments.
