Sharon Arts Center, a non–profit arts organization in Peterborough, NH, will present an exhibit titled “Passion for Art: Pass it On ~ A Focus on Sharon Arts Center Faculty,” which will open Sept. 2 and run through Oct. 28 at the center’s Exhibition Gallery located in downtown Peterborough at 30 Grove St.

Showcasing the work of Sharon Arts’ talented faculty, the multimedia exhibit will span the range of disciplines taught at the school: ceramics, painting, photography, printmaking, glass, weaving, and more. Organizers of the exhibit include faculty members and volunteers who describe it by saying: “As teachers, we want to share our passion for art with our students, and our goal is to guide them in exploring their own artistic dreams and talents. Nothing is more satisfying for us than to share the sense of wonder students experience as they “catch” the excitement of the creative process and become artists under their own terms. The sharing dynamic nourishes both teacher and student as they exchange and celebrate beauty and expression. Sharon Arts provides a wonderful environment conducive to perfecting skills and making art.”

Sharon Arts School Director Alexandra Wall adds that “the faculty exhibition will allow our teachers to share their talents with the community and prospective students. The passion of a teacher is something that is an intense part of their artistic practices. These are all dedicated artists who are constantly looking to expand and improve their work through teaching others and pursuing their own educational interests. The show will feature an amazing variety of mediums, and will be a unique cross section of local artists who are deeply connected with the Sharon Arts mission, some of whom have been involved in our organization for a number of years. We feel that it is so important to feature their achievements, and we are proud to honor them as valued artists of our community.”

In conjunction with the exhibit, a number of free public events have been scheduled at the Grove Street gallery including

Oil Painting Demonstration by Mary Iselin- Sat., Sept. 24, 1-3pm
Artist Talk by Marylise Reilly-Fajal- Thurs., Oct. 6, 5-6:30pm
