The Petri Island Show

Jim Toia's "Petri Island" show opened tonight at The Studios of Key West.  What a fantastic show! Lots of great work by lots of great artists, but the highlight for me was, of course, "Petri Island". Thank you, Jim, for doing such a wonderful job displaying the work of our Sigsbee artists amongst the work of so many others. I also loved the binder of collected written explanations my students wrote to accompany their work. This show was one of the proudest moments for me as an art teacher. Thank you Sigsbee students for doing such an amazing job!  Go see the show!!

This Thursday, July 19th, is the official opening of Jim Toia's petri dish show.  This is the one all my students made a petri dish for.  Openings are always exciting events.  I'd love to see students and parents in attendance!  The opening lasts from 6 - 9 pm at The Studios of Key West.
