Art Under the Stars...

On January 18 the  Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art hosted a one night only exhibition...featuring the art work of our amazing 3rd graders district wide.

The works of art featured were a result of our district-wide IDEA (Innovative Design
Explorations in Art) unit. 
As inspiration, 3rd Graders visited the museum
earlier this year as a kick off to this work. Each school was then visited by the
Museum’s education staff to get the projects started. Below are a few images of the displays from each school...

Branchville Elementary School
Barlow Mountain Elementary School
Farmingville Elementary School
Veterans Park Elementary School
Ridgebury Elementary School
Scottland Elementary School

This spectacular "Art Under the Stars" event shone a spotlight on our 3rd graders, making them the "Stars" of their own gallery experience.


Over 700 people came out to view and support our artists- thank you to all who were able to make it. 

Thanks also goes out to the amazing museum staff at the Aldrich Museum for their partnership, our parent volunteers, our PTA and to each and every one of our parents and fellow teachers and colleagues who supported us and helped to make this event possible.
