At Gallery
Artists from the Pomfret Community School display their work at an art gallery. For the past year Pomfret Community School has offered a grant funded after school Art Therapy program for girls grades five through eight. This therapeutic art class consists of discussions on topics based around important themes such as self-esteem, empowerment, expression, and relationships. The art therapist/instructor, Johanna Pike, has led the discussions and implemented the lessons. The following student’s art work were exhibited at a gallery in Putnam Jan. 12: Maya Rodriguez, Emilia Costa, Emma Costa, Gwen White, Michaela LaFlamme, Gianna Materas, Gracie Haney, Giana Billiard, Celeste Robbins, Allyson Bunning, Leilani Zayas, Adyson Grether, Hadley Grether, Abigail Elliot, Olivia Tappenden, Jordyn St. Laurent, Riley Balanovich, Shelby Radcliffe, Julia Ezzell. In addition to the exhibit, Windham Arts Radio’s John Murphy had a radio segment Dec. 13 on the gallery’s Therapeutic Arts Program facilitators, Melissa Wyse, Art Therapist, Johanna Pike, and two Pomfret Community School students, Hadley Grether and Gianna Materas participated in the segment.
