Latham School Student Art Graces Brewster Ladies’ Library this November

November 12, 2013

Reception Friday, November 15th Open to the Public

Latham School of Brewster invites the public to a student art show on display the month of November in the auditorium of the Brewster Ladies’ Library. The colorful show features work by more than 30 students created during Latham School’s Summer Program.  The exhibiting student artists attend school year-round at Latham’s residential campus specializing in the treatment of complex developmental, emotional and physical special needs, including Prader-Willi Syndrome. A student reception open to the public free of charge will be hosted by Latham on Friday, November 15th from 3:30-5:30 p.m. in the Brewster Ladies’ Library Auditorium.

The work represents hands-on art rendered as students gained an entry point into understanding works of the Masters—from the Italian Renaissance into major players of American modernism. Portraits, landscapes, collages, mixed media, and watercolors works are all represented in this experiential group portfolio created with inspiration from luminaries such as Matisse, Andrew Wyeth, Picasso, and others.

The Brewster Ladies’ Library is located at 1822 Main Street/Route 6A in Brewster. Hours of operation, including viewing access of the Latham Summer Art Show are: Tuesdays & Thursdays 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.; Wednesdays, Fridays & Saturdays 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., and Sundays 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.  The library is closed November 11 (Veteran’s Day) and November 28 and 29 (for the Thanksgiving holiday.)
