Art Wave is an annual event that happens each year in May. PT Artscape along with Main Street program, PTSD, Washington State Arts Commission, P.T. Arts Commission, participating Port Townsend businesses, and numerous volunteers will be hosting ARTWAVE 2008.
This marvelous showcase will display PTSD Student Art K-12th grade in many Port Townsend businesses for the month of May. Participating businesses will also be open for Gallery Walk on May 3rd, from 5:30-8:00pm to view student work.
“As an art teacher, I see the kids making the connection…and the brushes start to dance... Returning to what they knew when they were little, and also returning to it fresh. They make breakthroughs—it’s really marvelous to witness their struggles and achievements. It’s quite personal…and collective because they’re doing art all together in a class. You get a dialog going visually and verbally. They help each other.”
Kathleen Burgett, Port Townsend High School Art Teacher
