Society of Bluffton Artists sets Children’s K-5 Art Expo

The Society of Bluffton Artists is looking for budding artists who are in kindergarten through fifth grade from Bluffton area elementary schools for the fourth annual Children’s K-5 Art Expo, according to a news release.

The exhibit will take place from April 18-29 at SoBA’s Center for Creative Arts building adjacent to the gallery.

An opening reception for the public will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. April 23 at the Center for Creative Arts, 8 Church St.

Art teachers in each school are asked to select two art pieces (two-dimension only) from each grade level — a total of 12 pieces — that represent the children’s art and the art program in their schools. To qualify, artwork must be created in a school art class with no hands-on assistance from the teacher. A SoBA representative will collect and return. There is no fee required for this program.
