The Center of Music and Art, 264 Main St., Wintersville, has announced a new artist taking part in the monthly art show. The center is showcasing art work from local artists each month and making the work available for purchase. The artist for January is MaryClare Recznik.

MaryClare is currently a freshman at Franciscan University of Steubenville majoring in French with a minor in history. Very early on in her life, Recznik was interested in a variety of arts and cultures. Someday, she hopes to be a freelance artist so that she can draw, ink, and paint in the same vein as some of her favorite European influences.The works displayed this month are a few of her favorite pieces which she composed during her high school years. 

She would like to thank the CMA for the opportunity to share her work, and reminds onlookers that, as the famous Edgar Degas once said, “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”

The current show will run through February 25 and is open to the public for free viewing during business hours at the center.

Area artists interested in showcasing their work in future shows may contact the center at (740) 264-3111.

The Center of Music and Art is now accepting applications for a part time qualified instructor in violin. Interested parties may fill out the employment application, available for download here, or apply in person during regular business hours at
