Friendly Forest: Artists’ Talk & Reception

Pendle Hill invites you to walk into the “Friendly Forest,” an exhibit in the Tree Room Gallery comprised of group projects crafted by artists in grades K through 6 on the theme of Community Trees. Youth were invited to create together a tree representing their Friends School or Friends Meeting community.

An Art Reception will take place on Sunday, May 12, 2019 from 2-4pm.

“This was a great project for our Youth First Day School . . . We had a lot of fun creating our tree and were pleased that we were able to get our inspiration for the tree from our monthly Junior Meeting for Worship. Always love when you can tie all of the parts of FDS together so nicely.” — JB Baker-McAllister, Youth Program Coordinator, Gwynedd Friends Meeting
