Asheboro library to exhibit pre-k student art in May

Art by children in local preschools will be on display at the Asheboro library May 5-May 21, with a reception featuring performances by the children at 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 15.

The exhibit, entitled “The Hundred Expressions of Children,” sponsored by the Randolph County Partnership for Children, will travel to the Randolph Arts Guild after its stay at the library.

It includes work from The Children’s Center of Asheboro, The Growing Place, Precious Memories Preschool and the Early Childhood Development Center. The artwork arose from projects that kids in each school have undertaken to learn more about a topic or interest.

Each project incorporates skills that promote cognitive, language/communication, physical, social and emotional development.

During the reception, three of the preschools will present performances based on their projects. Precious Memories will present “Hula Hoop Extravaganza at 5:15 p.m.; The Growing Place will present “Rockin’ Alaskan Guitarists” at 6 p.m.; and The Children’s Center will present “Mail by Rail” at 6:30 p.m.

The exhibit and the reception are open to the public.
