As a part of the continuing celebration of Yarmouth’s Garson sisters and their contribution to art education in our community we enjoyed an “explore the portrait” event in the Community Room. Eleven would be portraitists teamed up under the guidance of Maggie Schmidt to try their hand. Teams od two and three played with their interpretation of a rough beginning sketch and photo for reference. Any resemblance to the photo is purely coincidental.

The presentation of the Art from the Heart  project was well received by a full house audience in the Community Room at the gallery. The audience was most interested in the concept of the project and were interested in how such a pilot program might be expanded to meet the nerds of more youth. A number of questions were asked and there was lively discussion over refreshments.
