You’d be nuts to miss young artists

“I love making art,” said seventh grader Amelia Keyser-Gibson, one of the young artists represented in this year’s Mixed Nuts exhibition at Bainbridge Arts andCrafts. There’s still time to see the show – part artist showcase, part educational experience. See www.bacart.org for more information.
