A rain date is set for Sunday\, July 13.\n“After decades in the classroom\, I’ve seen how quickly young minds spark when they watch creativity unfold in real time\,” said Mark Mehaffey\, former teacher and featured plein air painter. “The artists will guide kids\, inviting them to pick up a brush and experience the joy of capturing the world around them.”\nYouth Plein Air Exhibit | July 28 to July 31\nEach participant will have the opportunity to display one completed painting in GAAC’s classroom gallery.
