The Mercer art gallery is a space designed to advance artists and create in our community, a place where all are welcome to contemplate art, according to its mission statement. Free and open to the public, the gallery exhibit featuring the collected artworks of the youth participants will be displayed alongside some of the works of the featured artist, Kevin Lewis. It intends to encourage the families of the students to explore art personally and within the community. Art created by the children will be auctioned off to help fund arts and education programming at local clubs. Benjamin Dunn, lecturer and director of the MAC, acknowledged that bringing in local, younger artists to show their work in the same spaces where museum-quality exhibitions are staged is something special. "It's always a pleasure to host and support local organizations at the MAC," Dunn explained. "Mercer enjoys moving further into our surrounding community, creating partnerships with folks like the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Georgia." Such exhibits, he added, can really open a world of possibilities and imagination for these young artists. Follow along on their art journeys on BGCCG's Instagram and Facebook. Be sure to visit the MAC on Friday, Dec. 2, to see their masterpieces in person and to observe the impact of BGCCG's programs on the youth.
