A noteworthy new program is being celebrated tomorrow, Thursday, June 6, from 5-7 pm at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center (lower level gallery). It is the Art Colony’s Teaching Artist Partnership, a two-year pilot program funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council through the 2013-14 academic year. The program brings professional artist members of the Rocky Neck Art Colony into O’Maley Innovation Middle School as artists in residence, to enhance teaching objectives through the visual arts. The works on display tomorrow, presented by artists Gigi Mederos and teacher Brett Dunton, are papyrus made from celery, then painted in hieroglyphics to link with the students’ study of Egyptian culture.
Good Morning Gloucester
