MANCHESTER VOICES
by Long Trail School student artists

On view April 4 – May 12

Opening reception April 4 from 5 to 7 pm.

Manchester Voices is an evocative collection of artwork created by the talented students of Long Trail School. This exhibit offers a unique glimpse into the heart of the Northshire community, as each piece is inspired by in-depth interviews the students conducted with local residents. Through these conversations, students explored personal histories, traditions, and perspectives, capturing the essence of Manchester’s diverse voices.

The resulting works reflect a vibrant tapestry of stories, expressed through a variety of artistic mediums. Each piece serves as both a tribute and a reflection, honoring the experiences and wisdom shared by the people who shape the fabric of this town.

Manchester Voices invites viewers to engage with these stories, fostering a deeper connection between generations and encouraging dialogue that celebrates the richness of our community. The exhibit stands as a testament to the power of art and storytelling to bring people together, reminding us that every voice adds to the harmony of our collective narrative.

Come experience Manchester Voices — where the past, present, and future of the Northshire come alive through the creativity of our young artists.
