Work by High School Art and Literature Students on Display

A portable show of broadside poems from the Falmouth High School’s “Transcend’Artists” project, funded by FEF,  will be on display at the Woods Hole Library during the month of July.
These broadsides were created by students in Jane Baker’s advanced placement and honors art classes and Lauren Kenny’s advanced placement literature class in response to naturalist studies that students completed in Beebe Woods and Fruitlands conservation lands this past fall.
Photos from the student field trips and research and field notes are also on display. The portable art show panels were created thanks to a grant from the Woods Hole Foundation, and the Transcend’Artists project was fully funded by the Falmouth Education Foundation.
Woods Hole Library hours started Wednesday, July 1, and are 10 AM to 2 PM Monday through Saturday. Panels will be outside on the lower level weather permitting.
