The Lincoln Academy Student Art Show exhibit on display at River Arts, includes ceramics and sculpture, complemented by two-dimensional pieces from Lincoln’s advanced and AP art students. The show opens Friday, April 3 with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. The public is invited to view the works during business hours through April 18.

The art work encompasses wall tiles, functional pottery, sculptures made from unusual materials, charcoal drawings, paintings (of many media), digital images, collages and mixed media pieces. Students do all of their own matting and framing and provide artist statements to explain their process. Come meet the artists, enjoy refreshments and help celebrate the students’ hard work and dedication.

This show reflects an ongoing partnership between River Arts and Lincoln Academy in Newcastle, for which instructors Nina Sylvia and Jonathan Mess are very grateful. The mission of River Arts is “to nurture appreciation, encourage participation and provide opportunity in the arts.”

“It is an uncommon event for students of this age to be able to show their work in a professionally gallery,” Sylvia said. “We are extremely fortunate to have this opportunity another year.”

River Arts gallery is located at 241 US Route 1 in Damariscotta and is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
