Southern Saratoga
Art Society
SSAS is sponsoring Shenendehowa High School Students’ artwork for display during March at the Clifton Park Senior Community Center, 6 Clifton Common Blvd. Clifton Park. This year’s show has a special quality as their art is personal and expressive. There will be 30 pieces on display in a variety of media, including acrylic paintings, watercolor, photographs, drawings, etchings, mixed-media, and collage. Several of the students are seniors and will be attending art school in the fall. If you need to lift your spirits, take a few minutes, and see the world through a teenager’s eyes.
