    FRAMINGHAM, MA — Nobscot Gallery, bookstore and coffee shop in Nobscot Plaza on Water St. hosts an exhibit of Hemenway students’ artwork beginning on June 8th, 2008.

The exhibition will celebrate and share the talents of the Hemenway community of parents and students. Exhibits are expected to include paintings, pottery, photography, quilting and jewelry.

    Local writer and parent Patty Hebert commented: “I have always enjoyed the monthly exhibits at the Nobscot Gallery, and this one will be particularly delightful as it showcases the art of our school community.

    A grand opening reception will be held on Sunday, June 8th, from 2 – 5 p.m. at the Nobscot gallery in Annie’s Book Stop. The reception will also feature music and other performance art from children whose talents are more active than static!

    The reception will be a fund raiser, and grilled food has been generously donated by Wanda’s Food and Catering. All proceeds will be donated to the Hemenway School PTO art program.
