Student Art Exhibit

Colorful multi-media art by The Birchtree Center's students is included in SPLASH! The Art of Portsmouth’s Young People, an exhibit at the Portsmouth Public Library now through May 31.

The Friends of the Portsmouth Library organized the show, which features art by students from public and private schools throughout Portsmouth. A small exhibit reception will take place this Sunday, May 18, from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at the library.

The Birchtree Center's students created art for this show in honor of their instructors. The life-saver shape represents the life-changing impact that skilled and dedicated professionals can have on children and youth with autism.

Each student incorporated favorite colors, books, objects, and characters into his or her piece.

The exhibit is on display now through May 31 in the Portsmouth Public Library’s Levenson Room at 175 Parrott Avenue.

The library is open 9am-9pm Monday-Thursday, 9am-5:30pm Friday, 9am-5pm Saturday, and 1-5pm Sunday. Access to the Levenson Room is restricted when a program is taking place inside the room; see the library’s program calendar for details.
