Art:K12 is an exhibition program at Weaver Street Market’s Carrboro store, focusing on artwork created by local children and youth. The program began in February 2015. Its initial intention is to offer a public space for viewing visual art created by students in the CHCCS district, as well as local private schools.
The current exhibit, “Mysteries”, is by students at McDougle Middle School. Inspired by The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg, students imagined characters and settings and then created captioned illustrations for stories that haven’t yet been told, said Kate Parrent, art teacher.
Pictured here are works by Max Grant, Kevin Randolf, and Ana Leigh. This exhibit is on display through February 7. Be sure to stop by the cafe in our Carrboro store to see it.
