Youth art exhibit on display at the Salem Armory Regional Visitor Center
SALEM, Mass. — Salem Maritime National Historic Site will host a youth art exhibit in coordination with the International Fiber Collaborative and Massachusetts schools from Saturday, July 15 through Sunday, August 28. The exhibit can be seen inside the park visitor center located at 2 New Liberty Street, Salem, MA, Wednesday through Monday, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with local schools and the International Fiber Collaborative for our fourth year in a row to offer this unique art experience for youth," said Superintendent Jennifer Hardin of Salem Maritime and Saugus Iron Works National Historic Sites. “Opening the visitor center gallery space as a place for budding artists to express themselves and the ways in which our park themes speak to them allows us to connect with and learn from local students and teachers.”
“The Fifth Grade Team at the J.W. Killam School in Reading, Massachusetts is pleased to collaborate again this year with the National Park Service,” said art teacher Amy Hussey. “We are especially excited about this year's theme as we learned about the Revolutionary War, America 250 years ago, and the expanded narrative that creates a rare learning opportunity for our students. Our partnership with Salem Maritime has provided enriching artistic opportunities for our students. I am grateful to the NPS for making the visitor center engaging and available to our education community through programs such as this art exhibit.”
