'Anything Is Possible' Theme Of 2022 Nanuet District Art Exhibit

NANUET, NY — The 8th Annual Nanuet School District Art Department Exhibition is coming up at the end of the month and the Palisades Center is hosting once again.

The theme this year is "Anything is Possible."

"Looking back on the past three school years, Anything is Possible is the most perfect theme," Superintendent Kevin R. McCahill said in an announcement about the upcoming exhibit. "Art and cultural celebrations are limitless and reflect the power of the human spirit. There is no better way to listen to the hearts and minds of our future generations than to experience how they express themselves through art and cultural expressions."

The exhibit will feature 100 works of art from Nanuet students in kindergarten to 12th grade. It is co-sponsored by Nanuet and Beyond and the Greater Nanuet Chamber of Commerce.

"Nanuet & Beyond is a non-profit organization created to support and provide educational opportunities for our youth that enhance existing program experiences both within and outside the classroom," said its president, George Mollo. "Promoting the advancement of art in our classrooms and community through programs like The Nanuet School District’s Art and Culture Event has always been a goal. We thank Palisades Center and the companies showcasing the art this year. Any donations received because of this event will go back to the community through donations and scholarships."

Eighteen of Palisades Center’s businesses will display the 100 works of art from March 18-April 1: in their storefront windows:

"The Greater Nanuet Chamber of Commerce is grateful to Palisades Center’s businesses for hosting the Art and Culture Event this year," said its president, Jerry Tuchband. "We encourage the community to view the artwork located throughout Palisades Center and donate what they can to Nanuet and Beyond for future student programs and scholarships."
