As part of First Friday Art Walk in Portland on Friday, April 5 from 5-8 PM, Grace Restaurant is sharing their beautiful event space at 15 Chestnut St. in Portland to host a very special event to bring awareness and increase efforts to end genocide.
Come view inspiring and breathtaking works of art created by the following Falmouth High School student artists: Maggie Bohrmann, Nicole Cyr, Julia Gilman, Anna Hickey, Tessa Holbrook, Cassie Konkel, Natalie Kuhn, Ian Perry, Meaghan Piasio, Jane Pryzant, Ashely Solman, Emma VanWickler, Alyse Bazinet, Abby Dimick, Cam Clark-Harrod, Youngjin Kim, Natalie King, Kaitlyn O’Donnell, Erica Pugsley, Jade Russell-Johnson, Hawa Sayed, Kabria, Smith, Maya Spiegel, Sara Twombly, Geneva Waite, Ania Wright, and Jonah Zuckerman. The installation will feature contrasting work representing the tragedy of genocide and the grace of its survivors.
A survivor of the genocide has been meeting with students at Falmouth to educate them about his and others’ experiences. It is from those meetings and further research on the students’ part that the art is being inspired and created.
