Be prepared!

March Winds: Youth Art Exhibition 

Youth art comes to the Greene County Council on the Arts Catskill Gallery in March. March Winds will open on March 13 and continues through May 1^st. This year the youth exhibition by Greene County students will encourage the exploration of wind.

Using cross discipline thinking we are challenging students to explore the possibilities of redesigned household objects that move (or sound!) in the wind. Flags can be made on sticks, poles, or strung on clotheslines, kites designed and decorated, wind chimes and whirligigs constructed.

Students may explore the mediums of drawing, painting and writing, involving realistic depiction of windy scenes and objects moved by air, to wind metaphors. They may also explore air movement and sound working with sculpture and assemblage. Continuing the success and promotion of our past youth shows, we are looking forward to the fascinating results of these examinations.

Students are also encouraged to seek advice from family members, teachers and other supporting adults, but the concept and design must be original to the participating artist/student.

We hope that March Winds related projects can be worked into established curriculum schedules in all Greene County schools, public, private and pre-school programs!  The GCCA would like to invite all Greene County youth and their teachers to participate in the GCCA Annual Youth Exhibit for 2004. The theme this year is MARCH WINDS. Exhibit dates will be March 13 through May 1, 2004.
