Great Beginnings Elementary opened at the St. Thomas Elgin Public Art Centre this past Saturday (March 10, 2012). The exhibit covers the walls with a vibrant exhibition of art from Elgin County elementary school students.
On Saturday, the gallery space was bursting with energy as proud artists brought families and friends to their opening.
Mayor Heather Jackson congratulated the artists, commending them for their unique, creative and talented work. As a member of the Art Gallery board, she noted that the Great Beginning exhibit is one of her favourites of the year.
