For the month of June, paintings created by 30 local youth artists celebrating the culinary arts will be on display at Countryside Gallery in historic Newtown. The students, whose ages range from 10-17, are using their artistic talent to raise awareness about food sustainability and need in our community.
In addition to creating each of their own works of art, the students are working together to complete one collaborative painting which will be sold to the highest bidder as a fundraiser. Their 12" x 16" acrylic painting is titled Garlic & Herbs. Bidding entry forms for the silent auction of this piece will be available at the art show. If you would like to place a bid on Garlic & Herbs, but cannot get to the gallery for a bidding form, bids can also be made via email at youthartsilentauctionbids@aol.com. Bidding ends June 30th 2024 and the highest bidder will be contacted shortly after.
Greeting cards featuring each of the student's individual paintings will be on sale for $3.00 each. 100% of proceeds from the note card sale and silent auction piece will be donated to The Bucks County Housing Group Food Pantry.
The community is invited to view the students' paintings on display from June 2nd through July 3rd. Admission is free and smiles are guaranteed, so please come out and support our aspiring youth artists and their cause.
