GALLERY HAPPENINGS February 2022

February at Gallery Moab
by Thea Nordling
Happiness for artist Maddy Russo is a pile of art supplies and time and space enough to work.

Youthful energy enlivens Gallery Moab this month! Selected students from Helen M. Knight Elementary School will be exhibiting new original art during February. The young artists represent all grades, Kindergarten through 6th. “This year I chose to invite artists based on their expressed enthusiasm for art,” states Art Coach Bruce Hucko. “At the very beginning of the year, Mykie (2nd grade) came to me asking about the Gallery show. Since she’d never been in it, I was surprised that she even knew about it, especially 8 months later. She stated she’d like to be in it and that’s how she became first on my list. Enthusiasm counts!”

Once Hucko invites the artists and their parents give permission, the students begin work. Some produce the art at home while others attend a Friday afternoon art party where they are given free reign to all the art supplies to produce whatever it is that they imagine. Hucko says he could easily fill the entire gallery with students who habitually make art outside of school. You’ll see work of 15 students at this show.

A reception for the young artists will be held on Friday, February 4, from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. Hucko will introduce the artists at 3:30. The joy, playfulness, and fearless use of color shown by these budding young artists is a great tonic for the late-winter blues, sure to warm your heart and bring a smile to your face!
