The Friends of the Owens Art Gallery and the students of Marshview Middle School are inviting the public to a special reception at the Owens Art Gallery on Tuesday, June 17 at 6:30 p.m.
The reception has been planned to celebrate the Gallery’s program of Education and Community Outreach and to publicly thank The Honourable Robert V. Barritt ('50) of Bermuda who has provided generous funding to support this important program at the Gallery.
Robert V. Barritt is a gradate of Mount A whose generosity has enabled the Owens to offer intensive programs to local schoolchildren through tours, workshops and special collaborative projects, and to forge relationships with the wider community through a series of Family Sundays and other events, all made available free of charge.
The Gallery’s membership of Friends of the Owens are now building on Mr. Barritt’s generosity, by directing all fund raising efforts towards building an Endowment Fund to sustain this dynamic program, which reaches out to families, youth, schools, and community members.
