Annual children’s art exhibit opens at Glacier Art Museum

Elementary and middle school students from Northwest Montana share the art of “balance” in Glacier Art Museum’s annual children’s art exhibit. 

In “Artful Balance: Children’s Art Exhibition,” students share their artistic expressions in a variety of media, focusing on the theme of balance, as a composition technique and subject matter in more than 300 pieces. 

Artwork was selected in partnership with participating art teachers who made a pre-selection of entries along with Glacier Art Museum Education Director Kathy Martin. Criteria for selection included how well they represent the theme, along with the quality of work.  

The exhibit opens with a free reception from 5-7 p.m. April 16 and will be on display through May 23. General admission is $8 for non-members, $6 for seniors and veterans, $4 for students and active military. Museum members and children under 18 are free.
