BGV Art Exhibit Reception Nov. 14th

Public Invited to November 14th Reception for BGV Children’s Works of Art

Milford, CT -- The public is invited to attend a reception on Saturday, November 14th, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., at the Raymour & Flanigan Furniture Clearance Center, 1799 Boston Post Road in Milford. This will be the wrap up of a month-long exhibit of Works of Art by the children served by Boys & Girls Village. BGV staff members will also be on hand to greet visitors, discuss the art exhibit, and answer questions about the various programs offered at Boys & Girls Village for at-risk children and families. Refreshments will be served, and Raymour & Flanigan will be offering special discounts for furniture purchases.

The Art Program has been an integral part of BGV’s regular educational curriculum for many years. Art teacher Justin Shay guided the creation of all children’s artwork, as well as managed the installation of the exhibit. Children ages 5 to 17 produced the art, including colored drawings on paper, collages, and paintings on canvas. “My art class is unique, as the children are given a lot of choice to create and be creative. This carries over to their other educational subjects, and encourages them to develop their own personal touch and style,” shared Shay.
