Elementary Art Gallery on Display at County Offices

The county executive said the gallery is part of a "fresh start" for the county.

The artwork of students from across the county, including Windsor Farm Elementary students, is up for the public to browse at the county government office in downtown Annapolis.

The gallery shows off the talents of students, who employ a variety of styles. One of the art pieces features birds depicted through yarn, a style inspired by Mexican Huichol yarn paintings. There is also art inspired by cave paintings and Japanese calligraphy.

Some artwork goes beyond the canvas, including tiny hand-crafted figures, and traditional Mexican weavings.

Anne Arundel County Executive Laura Neuman and Schools Superintendent Kevin Maxwell worked together in getting the gallery in front of the public's eyes.

“This artwork will delight and also inspire us to look to the future,” Neuman said. “As part of our fresh start for Anne Arundel County, we need to highlight all of the great things going on in our community. We will also use this opportunity to announce future contests.”
