'Intergenerational Art Project Culminating in Exhibit at Frontier'

BRUNSWICK----Artists spanning the ages from teenagers to grandparents who have been creating art together invite the public to their opening exhibit Wednesday, April 25 from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. at the Frontier Café, Mill 3 in Fort Andross.  The art will be on exhibit through May 2.

As a Community for All Ages (CFAA) project, the adults and teenagers have been meeting for several weeks at Ed McCartan’s studio at Fort Andross, sharing their love of working a variety of media.  The project theme was centered on what community meant to each member and how it would look in an art form.

Exhibiting artists, from Brunswick High School include : Laura Ingram Kristen Merrill, Nicole Messerman, Jackie Rosner Amber Casterlin, Sarah Heinemann Abby Marsh, Crystal Nadeau, Hannah Saucier, and  Alex Toy

Adults participating from the greater Brunswick community are: Connie Bailey, Fred Carr, Deb Casterlin, Judy Krok, Ed McCartan.       

Judy Krok, who volunteers at People Plus says “young people in art are so talented and free of inhibitions that I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity for me to learn something.”

McCartan, as a retired art teacher, anticipated working with the teenagers.  Connie Bailey, who has been teaching art classes at People Plus for 15 years, finds working with young people appealing.

“The Frontier Café is a unique and wonderful space for displaying art. It’s attractive to all ages, and we appreciate the opportunity to join in the Frontier’s exciting concept of combining food, film and art,” says Seth Wilson, who has spearheaded the CFAA project as an intern with People Plus.

“The Intergenerational Art project is an exciting opportunity to see the Community For All Ages in action,” says Rick Wilson, Service Learning/School to Career coordinator at Brunswick High School.  “The students have been dedicated and committed to this project for a reason. The art studio where the group meets is terrific and the opportunity to have connection with the generations is more important to them than the production of the art.  I have a feeling the older generation feels the same way, too.”
