As we close our season together, our young artists and their families will be invited to share their favorite pieces during a special Gallery Exhibition—an intimate photography exposition for friends and family, where their work is honored, their voices are seen, and their creative journeys are celebrated. It’s a moment for children to shine, for parents to witness their growth, and for our community to gather around the beauty they’ve captured through their own eyes
