About the Exhibit:
The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, with support from the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation, the Donald C. McGraw Foundation, and the Cape Cod Melody Tent, will present WILD THINGS at the Cotuit Center for the Arts for five weeks from January 9 to February 10, 2012. Keeping younger arts patrons in mind, art work will be displayed at a height of 4 feet throughout the exhibit -- right at children's eye level. A special mini-art library will be made available to all visitors, and the artists themselves will drop in to discuss their works with the students as they tour the exhibit. As always, the visit to WILD THINGS is accompanied by a hands-on workshop in the Art Barn, where students will create their own piece inspired by the exhibition, which features 57 Cape Cod artists.
