LOWELL, MA (February 3, 2010). A multi-gallery exhibition of the finest artwork produced by 250 students from the public, private and charter schools of Lowell. VISUAL VOICES IV and its related events is a collaboration of Lowell's galleries, schools and teachers. This biennial event was conceived eight years ago by Lowell art teacher and Brush Gallery artist Lolita Demers. This year, Demers is joined by Lowell art teachers Marta Magnus, Stephanie Deshenes, Erin Noonan-Descoteaux and Erica Van Fleet to produce this wonderful, city-wide exhibition of artwork by elementary, middle and high school students.
Paintings, sculpture, pottery, mixed media, photography, computer graphics and drawings will be on display. Professionally presented, the works offer an overview of the excellent visual artwork being made in Lowell's schools and provide an opportunity to recognize the city's teachers and students. Students, artists, teachers, school faculty, parents and the general public are encouraged to attend the receptions and to view the exhibitions of these talented, young, emerging artists.
