Pomperaug Elementary School, Select Art Students Display Art Work in Gallery Show at Carol Peck’s Good News Café in Woodbury  

  Pomperaug Elementary School (PES), Select Art Students, will display art work in a gallery show at Carol Peck’s Good News Café at 694 Main Street South in Woodbury.

  From March 6^th through March 29^th, 5^th graders in the PES Select Art Program will have their still life paintings on view to restaurant patrons.  A gallery opening, entitled “Beginnings”, will be open to the public Sunday, March 6 between the hours of 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. 

  According to PES Art Teacher, Nancy Neal, students were asked to create their own interpretation of a still life comprised of lemons, limes and oranges.  An arrangement of the fruits was photographed and placed on computer for students to view from week to week as their piece progressed.  “The rest is history,” said Ms. Neal.  “The acrylic paintings done on
24” X 30” stretched canvasses, are awesome and shouldn’t be missed.”

  “We are very excited about the opportunity for these talented young artists to have their first taste of a gallery show,” said Region 15, Director of Fine Arts, Jane Sarjeant.  “Not only is it a wonderful experience for them, this is a great chance for local residents to view student art work.”

  The Good News Café is open Wednesday through Monday and closed on Tuesdays.  Lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with a café bar menu available from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. and dinner from 5:00 p.m. till closing.
