‘Matronly’ by Lauren Edsall

A diverse array of artwork by talented student artists from throughout the region is on display in the Banko Family Room Gallery of ArtsQuest’s Banana Factory, 25 W. Third St., Bethlehem, through July 27 as part of “Annual Young Artists’ Exhibition.” This year’s show features more than 55 two- and three-dimensional works including watercolors, pencils, acrylics and digital photography created by students in 9th through 12th grades.

The Annual Young Artists’ Exhibition is open to students in Berks, Bucks, Carbon, Chester, Montgomery, Lehigh and Northampton counties. First place in this year’s exhibit went to Lauren Edsall, a junior at Lehighton High School, for her charcoal and chalk drawing, “Matronly.” The complete list of 2014 award winners were announced during the exhibit’s opening reception June 6 as part of the Banana Factory’s First Friday celebration. Gallery hours for the Annual Young Artists’ Exhibition are Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-9 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
