The Brandywine River Museum will debut a new display of area student works on Nov. 10.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cImagine Brandywine,\u201d a new exhibition space at the\u00a0Brandywine River Museum<\/a>\u00a0for the display of creative art projects by area school students, will debut on Nov.10.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The inaugural display \u2013 inspired by the museum\u2019s collection and landscape \u2013 will feature more than 150 works by students in kindergarten through sixth grade from the Avon Grove Charter School (AGCS), located in West Grove and Kemblesville.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with great excitement that we launch this new program,\u201d said Thomas Padon, director of the Brandywine River Museum. \u201cWe have long had an array of educational activities that inspire children to look closely at art. With the \u201cImagine Brandywine\u201d series, children will create works of art that address a particular subject or theme related to the museum\u2019s renowned collection or the spectacular landscape surrounding it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt always astounds me how brilliantly creative children\u2019s art is, and giving these students in the community the opportunity to display their work will hopefully be as rewarding to them as I know it will be to the staff,\u201d Padon noted.<\/p>\n

Each year, the Brandywine River Museum serves more than 6,000 students through its field trip program, as well as offering workshops for educators. Seeing original works of art is an educational experience that cannot be duplicated in the classroom. The museum offers students from kindergarten through grade 12 the opportunity to make connections between school learning and the outside world.<\/p>\n

The museum offers 15 different thematic guided tours for school groups that may be adapted to the curriculum and level of the group. Programs link art to a variety of subjects, including American history, literature, environmental studies and geometry. Financial assistance is available to schools in need for admission and transportation costs.<\/p>\n

The exhibition by the students from AGCS will be on view through Jan. 5 on the lower level of the museum. Future exhibitions of work by students from the museum\u2019s partner schools, including Caln Elementary in Coatesville and Chester Charter School of the Arts, will take place in 2014.<\/p>\n

The Brandywine River Museum is internationally known for its unparalleled collection of works by three generations of Wyeths and its fine collection of American illustration, still life and landscape painting.\u00a0 The museum also has three historic properties, the Andrew Wyeth Studio, the N.C. Wyeth House and Studio, and Kuerner Farm, which are open for tours from April through November.<\/p>\n

The Brandywine River Museum, located on U.S. 1 in Chadds Ford,\u00a0is open daily, except Christmas Day, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is $12 for adults; $6 for seniors, students and children ages 6 to 12; and free for members and children under six.
