We were extremely lucky growing up. We were blessed with the luxury of having a music teacher for a mother and a technically trained thespian for a father. And not only that – we always attended schools where art was on a level playing field with math and science and all the other academics.
But not everyone has the luxury of growing up surrounded by people who make the arts an important part of life. The THEA Foundation is trying to change that – one student at a time. The research is there – that the other academic disciplines thrive when art is allowed to be fostered as well.
And for the last six weeks, The THEA Foundation has been playing host to 25 kids from Butterfly Ministries to inspire and educate them in the arts. Throughout the six weeks, these kids have been exposed to lessons in charcoal, watercolor, clay and photography. They received some art history and art theory lessons as well.
And now it’s your chance to marvel in their experience by visiting The THEA Foundation and seeing these students’ art on display. There will be an artist reception and awards ceremony on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. You can also view the exhibit during business hours through August 12.
Come be inspired. Learn something new. And appreciate and admire the work that The THEA Foundation is doing right here in our own community.
