BRIDGTON — Gallery 302 will present its 2019 Student Art Show this month, featuring works from Hebron Academy, Fryeburg Academy and Lake Region High School in Naples.

The public is invited to view the artwork from March 2 to 22 at the gallery at 112 Main St. A reception will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, March 3.

Youth Art Month is an annual observance to emphasize the value of art and art education for all children. It recognizes the skills developed in visual arts as experiences that are not possible in other curriculum areas and that are vital 21st century skills that contribute to the success of our children in a global society.

The gallery is able to participate in the national celebration of visual arts for grades kindergarten to 12 due to the generosity of gallery members who donate their exhibiting spaces, the encouragement of the art teachers and the willingness of the student artists to share their work.
