The Collier County Sheriff’s Office has partnered with Collier Child Care Resources Incorporated to display the self-portraits of children ages 3 to 5 years old attending its NCEF Early Childhood Development Center.
CCSO will host a public reception for the 14th installment of the Community Gallery on Thursday, Nov. 13 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. The gallery is located at the administrative offices on the second floor of CCSO headquarters, 3319 U.S. 41 E., East Naples.
The “Vivid #Selfies” exhibit will feature images inspired by Swiss artist Paul Klee. The children were asked about the shape of their faces and used mirrors to study and draw using the oil pastels and crayons. After drawing their portraits, the blocked-color backgrounds were created by brushing on squares of tissue paper with water.
CCCR’s mission is to support the needs of Collier County’s children, families and early learning professionals by providing high quality education, resources and child care services. It is a private, non-profit child care agency that serves children, families and early learning professionals.
The exhibit will be on display to the public through Friday, Feb. 13, 2015.
The CCSO Community Gallery welcomes any local public service organizations interested in setting up a future exhibit.
