April 16 – Reflections Awards Reception
Share this...
The Massachusetts PTA invites you to our 2016 Reflections Awards Reception to celebrate and congratulate student artwork from across the state. Join us on Saturday, April 16, 12-2pm at the Fitchburg Art Museum for awards, accolades and private access to the 2015-16 Reflections Art Gallery.
We chose the Fitchburg Art Museum because we want our accomplished student artists to feel less like students and more like artists on their special day of recognition. Student artwork will be on public display in the museum’s Community Gallery until May 2, 2016.
