printer friendly version

Special to the Town Crier

Elementary school-aged children from San Carlos to Los Gatos are being invited to draw, sketch, or paint their visions of nature and the open space environment in the award-winning, fourth annual Kids' Art of Open Space exhibition.

The event is sponsored by the Los Altos-based Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District and the Community School of Music and Arts of Mountain View.

All entries will be exhibited at a reception and opening display on Thursday, followed by local displays of the kids' art throughout the district. Art educators from the music and arts school will assist elementary school teachers in introducing the Kids' Art of Open Space project into their existing school programs.

The Community School of Music and Arts provides thousands of children and adults annually with music and visual art instruction, and is one of the largest non-profit arts education organizations in Santa Clara County. The school's offerings include music classes and lessons for all ages; after-school and special arts vacation camps for children; in-school arts education programs; family concerts; and other community outreach events.
