Description

Who would have imagined 30 years ago that parents would need to encourage their children to go outside to play? But, it is estimated that kids spend between 40 and 60 hours per week on electronic devices, and much of the rest of their time in scheduled between school, sports and other extracurricular activities. The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire’s Gallery 6 summer art exhibition will celebrate the unhurried happiness of outdoor play. Everything Under the Sun will be on view June 4 through September 4, 2016 and picture book illustrations by Gina Perry, whimsical creations by Taylore Kelly, beautifully rendered watercolor art by Yong Chen, dreamy photographs by Tara Hamer and Debra Woodward, and detailed work by Barbra Albert and Michal Smiglowski.

Yong Chen will be doing a watercolor demonstration during the opening reception. The opening reception is open to all adults, but the children’s exhibits will be closed.
