EARLVILLE – Spring is just around the corner, but the Earlville Opera House is already bursting with color and fun in the West Gallery. Celebrating sixteen years in 2009, the annual KidsArt Exhibit arrives March 7th and remains through April 11th. The multi-media show features work from ten local primary schools.

The KidsArt exhibit always draws a crowd, which is fun and exciting for both the viewers and the artists. Over 250 local children will have their work displayed in a professional gallery setting! Gallery admission is free at all times, and the community at large is invited to view the artwork that students throughout the region are producing.

A Gallery Opening for all participants, their guests, Earlville Opera House members and friends will take place on Saturday, March 7, from noon - 3 p.m. in the EOH West Gallery. Refreshments will be served, and admission is free and open to the public. Last year, over 300 people attended the opening reception.

This year, the winner of the annual EOH postcard competition is Sean McPherson, Grade 4, from Burton Street Elementary in Cazenovia. Sean’s artwork is featured on the 2009 KidsArt postcard invitations.
