This year’s East Side School Annual Art Show will be held on Thursday, April 26th from 6:00 - 7:00 PM. The show features elementary school students’ art work from regular classroom art time, and clay pieces made during this year’s Artist in Residence program with Sue Tirrell. The program was funded by a Montana Arts Council grant, and a significant contribution from the East Side PTO.

I’m continually impressed by the caliber of work from these young artists. This is a show worth seeing.

East Side School is at 401 View Vista Drive (near Park High and the Yellowstone River).

Thursday April 26 is getting busy. To do it all, attend the Art Show at 6:00 and then head over to The Danforth for “Modern Lessons from Ancient Islamic Cities” with Livingston architect Cloe Medina Erickson at 6:30.
