I got to peruse some of the work from the Open Studio kids for a story for the May 29 Hippo, and it’s pretty cool stuff. The Currier program matches a group of high schoolers who are serious about their art with
professionals. They show off the results of this semester’s focus under the direction of John O’Shaughnessy with an exhibit called “Portraits and Personal Imagery: Reduction Relief Prints and Solar Plate Etchings.” The show is up through Sept. 1, and the prints are for sale. Proceeds go to the program. The show opening is happening during First Thursday at the Currier Museum of Art. Before expansion, the museum stayed open
evenings more regularly, but they are currently doing so once a month. So check out the emerging artist work in the Currier Community Gallery
between 5 and 7 p.m. The museum should be open between 5:30 and 8 p.m.

Also going on is the monthly art show opening at The Wine Studio in Manchester. Happily, these usually coincide with the store’s Thursday wine tasting session and the June 5 one features some Cote du Rhone wines. Cori Caputo‘s watercolors are featured, which have a dreamlike quality to them.
