Media Coverage of the 2013 Grandparent Portrait Show
We are always pleased when Student Art Fund exhibits are featured in the local press and radio. It is even a greater joy when the Grandparent Portrait Show, our signature biennial event, gets national notice. The NPR show, California Report (KQED), included in the programing for April 26, 2013, a report on the Grandparent Portrait Show 2013. Says commentator Diane Bock:
“Relationships between grandparents and their grandchildren are unique, significant and often fleeting. The Grandparent Portrait show, an art exhibit currently on display in Santa Barbara, aims to strengthen and preserve those bonds. The show features drawings, paintings, sculptures and photographs of grandparents by local junior high and high school students. At the show’s opening reception, there’s a palpable layer of energy inside the Faulkner Gallery. The room is packed. Students, teachers, family and friends have gathered for their first look at some very special one-of-a-kind pieces of art. Smiles and hugs abound — along with a few tears.”
