How do the children of Greater Cincinnati see and interpret the world around them? The Cincinnati Arts Association (CAA) explores this question through its annual Student Art Show, which exhibits artwork by local students. This year’s theme is “(Under, By, In) the Sea.” The exhibition will be on display in the Aronoff Center’s Fifth Third Bank Theater (7th & Main Streets in downtown Cincinnati) from Saturday, May 2 – Sunday, May 10, 2015. Exhibition hours are Friday, 4:00 – 8:00 PM, Saturday, 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM, and Sunday 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM. The Student Art Show is free and open to the public.
Representing students from grades K – 8, the diverse collection of two-dimensional artwork will include mediums from pencil drawings to printmaking to textiles. Now in its 13th year, the Student Art Show is organized and presented annually by CAA’s Department of Education & Community Relations, with the assistance of the Weston Art Gallery.
“CAA is excited to continue to present the Student Art Show annually. Every year students create a unique interpretation of the theme,” says Kathleen Riemenschneider, CAA’s Assistant Director of Education & Community Relations. “The program has been a wonderful opportunity for students to creatively express and share their views with their friends, family, and the public.”
