LAUREN WEST’S A WALK IN THE WOODS EXHIBITION OPENS JUNE 3 AT THE ACWC

The Arts Council for Wyoming County (ACWC) is pleased to present the ACWC & Creekside Fabrics 2021 Visual Arts Scholar Lauren West’s exhibition.

The exhibition will open on Friday, June 3 at the ACWC’s, 31 South Main Street location in Perry.

Lauren West is a student at Perry Central High School. She received the ACWC Creekside Fabrics Visual Arts Scholarship in 2021, which allowed her to spend a year studying with a professional artist, Nancy Stoddard. Lauren has worked to create her exhibit “A Walk in the Woods” through this mentorship.

We invite the public to attend the opening reception for this exhibit featuring the paintings of West that were created in one year.

Lauren was the 8th recipient of the ACWC & Creekside Fabrics Visual Arts Scholarship for Young Artists. The ACWC & Creekside Fabrics Visual Arts Scholarship, now in its ninth year, is made possible through a partnership between the ACWC and Creekside Fabrics located in Arcade. It is awarded annually to one high school student who wishes to further their studies in visual arts, including painting, photography, fiber arts, ceramics, and carpentry. Valued at $900, it encompasses a year-long apprenticeship to one or more fine arts or crafts local masters in the discipline selected by the student. Lauren’s scholarship has culminated with this solo exhibition. Meet Lauren and see her new work at the opening reception for her exhibition.

A Walk in the Woods exhibit ends June 25. The opening reception on June 6 is free and open to the public.
