The Shiawassee Arts Center is teaming up with Wendy’s Restaurant in Owosso for the 21th Annual “Celebration of Youth Arts Month” during March. Students who participated in the SAC’s Youth After School Art Classes created the current exhibit of “Wendy’s Wild & Whimsical Birds of a Feather.”

Students spent the month of February creating birds out of Wendy’s containers and materials. The wild and whimsical creations have their own personalities, with each artists seeing and using the materials in different ways. These art pieces will be on exhibit at Wendy’s Restaurant of Owosso in the month of March.

The instructors for the project were Brian Bruff, SAC board member; Linda Ruehle, Arts Education Director; and Cora Walby, Arts Education Assistant Director.  All of the instructors and student artists appreciate Wendy’s for sharing their “gallery” space and materials, and supporting arts education in the community.

Participating students in Kindergarten through 8th Grade are: Willow Atkinson, Emma Grey, Reagan Lamor, Adalynn Osantoski, Ella Osantoski, Owen Osantoski, Gabriella Pennington, Ben Pennington, Eve Ransome, June Tenoff, Aiden Tomlinson, Harper Walworth and  Marrah Zruna. Stop into Wendy’s for a Frosty or a Chili and view the student exhibit!
