Brown's class named Tsuga artists of the month

Tsuga Gallery announces "Artists of the Month" for February: Julius A. Wendt's 5th grade class. For the past five years, Jamie Brown's 5th grade class has put together calendars comprised of the artwork from these talented young people. This year, the subject is pollinators. The students had to select a Washington wildflower, do research on their selected flower, and paint or draw it. All of the artwork for the calendar was produced by the entire class. The students learn about the importance of pollinating plants in the garden and in nature. Mrs. Brown hopes to receive a grant that would supply the students with seeds they can plant and through which they can study the cycle of plant life and the importance of pollination. Please stop by the Gallery on 70 Main Street in Cathlamet and view the original art from these young artists. Tsuga Gallery is a non-profit organization and is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
