Dec. 10 will be the last day to see Bob Peltz’s summer art camp student show. Bob has taken such time and care to celebrate the talent and creativity of his students. If you’re feeling bummed with the gloomy weather, a trip to the studio to surround yourself with whimsical color is just the ticket.
On Dec. 14, Carnegie will be displaying Sandi Blankenship’s fifth grade student work in the studio gallery. Their exhibit will be on display until Jan. 8. Due to Covid, these students were unable to come on their annual fourth grade school tour last January. We are excited to have them come for a makeup tour and class with artist Robert Peltz.
