Melmark Traveling Art Show Returns to Newtown Public Library

Recognized for its creative and therapeutic art programs, Melmark is presenting its 6th Traveling Art Show on Monday, December 3 at the Newtown Public Library in Newtown Square, PA.

“ We are thrilled to be invited back at the Newtown Square Public Library. Our first opening last year was received with such enthusiasm by the community that when Mrs. Dorothy Elicker, Coordinator of Art Shows at the Newtown Square Public Library invited us back, we gladly accepted,” says Melmark art teacher Jim Sekula. Under his tutelage, children and young adults create magnificent collages and some intriguing paintings. Each month, a new selection will be displayed in different venues throughout this year.

The exhibit will be open to the public during regular library hours starting December 3 through December 15, 2007.

“We are grateful to the Board of the Newtown Public Library for hosting this art exhibit. Because people with developmental disabilities are often overlooked, we strive to give those entrusted in our care the tools they need to be seen and heard in our community. Art is a powerful means of expression and knows no disability,” Says Cyndie Martin, Melmark Director of Corporate and Community Affairs.
