Our From Armature to Art series has concluded and we can't thank Macey from The Art Studio 126 Main enough for serving as our artist partner and Auburn Public Theater for providing project funding.

In case you missed the art exhibit, we are excited to share the final pieces of this project. All of our young artists worked through their ideas and included so many wonderful details to their sculptures.

This project was made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council o the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York Stste Legislatures and administered by Auburn Public Thrater.
