Apologies for any inconvenience. \nFresh Impressions is a wonderful opportunity to embrace\, enrich\, and foster the talents of young artists in the Siuslaw Region. In addition to showcasing their artwork\, both the show and reception encourage them to excel at their studies\, learn what it takes to prepare artwork for a public gallery show\, and discover that — yes — our community really does care about the arts.  \nShow production is supported by art teachers Lauren Suveges (Siuslaw High School) and Christina Ory (Siuslaw Middle School) who have been instrumental in helping students provide art for this exhibit.
