Celebrating Creativity

Current Exhibit
Wreaths and Moments
Anabell Iglesias Chavarría from Westbrook
The exhibit is of “wreaths and moments” in 4th of July celebrations. The wreaths are handmade by Anabell, a tradition she picked up when living in the South. The celebrations are happy moments celebrating America including “BBQ & Bluegrass” at Barrington Hall in Roswell, GA. Barrington and Roswell King, founders of Roswell, threw a 4th of July barbecue every year for his family and friends and the tradition was revived in 2015; A picnic decoration at dusk just before fireworks in the DMV; and A ceramic plaque that has become a beloved keepsake to display each July.
"250"
What started as a traditional poem became a poem meant for spoken word, read by Anabell. Reflecting on America 250 and what this country means to those who call it theirs, it ends with a "greeting to all" from The Little Gallery on Fessenden Street.
What is America?
It’s you and it’s me
Coming together
Building and Belonging
It is ‘Go West, Young Man!’
It is Boston Harbor
My country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing
It is that helping hand
Courage and kindness
Bake sales and fundraisers
Together as one
It is so many tongues
And a single heart
‘E pluribus unum’
From dusk until dawn, and then some, and then some
It is risk and creation
It is a the man on the moon
And a lemonade stand
A kid and a dream
No matter when we came here
Or if we were always here
No matter when we called the red white and blue our own
This land is ours
At 250, ours, all ours
And Every time we show up
And this little gallery lights up
We know, we really, really KNOW
Someone cares and says
“Look, this is me and here I am”
You are my community
We are one, E pluribus unum
Out of many, one.
Happy birthday, USA.

Runway Fashion
9-year-old Lea from Tenleytown
Hi, my name is Lea! I love fashion and expressing myself with it. I also like to paint and sketch, specifically dogs or just animals in general. I also do dance (jazz, modern, and ballet). When I color I like to use alcohol-based markers. I love Abbey, my dog and painting her.I also love to do washi tape crafts with my mom. We call it “washi-fying” things. I love art because it lets me express myself and it does the talking for me. In the fall, I will be a fourth grader.
Little Gallery is looking for visual and audio exhibitors
