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.
How does art connect to our daily lives? This month’s exhibit features Paper Weavings by Seawell Elementary School 1st graders.
“When we get dressed every day, we rarely think of the weaving processes used to create our clothes. After painting patterns on our papers, students created random and repeating patterns in their weavings. You can think of these as swatches of cloth greatly magnified.”
This exhibit runs through April 17, so stop by our Carrboro cafe to check it out. Artwork pictured is by Lway Pyo Oo (top), Jack (bottom, left), and Jisung (bottom, right).
