Third Friday Art Show

Students Paint for EPCAMR!

Join us for the show's opening at Wilkes-Barre's 3rd Friday on September 16th at Artsyouniverse!

The exhibit is going to be of my students’ artwork created with iron oxide pigment donated by EPCAMR (Eastern PA Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation) in celebration of their 15th anniversary. The children learned about the past mining, how this has adversely affected local watersheds and how they could use the reclaimed iron oxide in. The children were invited to experiment with the pigment and to be creative. Most of the children chose to mix the pigments with watercolor.
