First Citizens Bank in Hendersonville, NC, Features Exhibition for the Arts Council of Henderson County

The Arts Council of Henderson County is announcing the dates for Mentors & Students, its trilogy of exhibitions celebrating the importance of art in a child’s life including: The Art of Our Children - Elementary Student Exhibition; Art Teachers Create - 3rd Annual Exhibition; and Artists of Tomorrow - Secondary Student Exhibition, all on view at the First Citizens Bank Main Street galley in Hendersonville, NC, between Feb. 17 and Apr. 13, 2012.

The first Mentors & Students exhibition will be The Art of Our Children - Elementary Student Exhibition, which will open Feb. 17 and be on display through Mar. 2, 2012. The opening reception, from 5:30-7pm on Feb. 17 will include a performance by the Hendersonville Children’s Choir.

“The Hendersonville Children’s Choir is excited to be a part of the Arts Council of Henderson County student exhibit. Art and music allow children to channel their expressions and emotions through a positive creative outlet. We are excited to be a part of the synergy of both at this exhibit,” said Choir Director Kristen Walter.

Art Teachers Create - 3rd Annual Exhibition follows the elementary show, opening on Mar. 9. The show features the work of the artists and art teachers who provide art instruction to Henderson County students. The exhibit closes on Mar. 23.

The third exhibit will be Artists of Tomorrow - Secondary Student Exhibition featuring the art of Henderson County’s middle and high school students. This exhibit will be on view Mar. 30 - Apr. 13.

All three exhibitions are open to participation by public, private, parochial, and home schooled students and art teachers in Henderson County. The First Citizens Bank Main Street gallery is handicapped accessible.

Mentors & Students is sponsored in part by First Citizens Bank and the Dr. Minor F. Watts Fund. The Arts Council of Henderson County is a community organization that promotes, advocates for and nurtures the arts in Henderson County and Western North Carolina.
