BATTLE GROUND — Second-graders from Tukes Valley Primary School will have artwork on display at Mallard Landing Assisted Living Community, 813 S.E. Clark Ave., Battle Ground. The art exhibit, which will be on display for a week, is part of a bigger fundraising effort started by the students to help birds caught by the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last year.
“The artworks are colorful and expressive collaged paintings of birds and birdhouses,” says art teacher Andrea Logeren. “While creating this art work, the students came up with the idea that they wanted to help the Gulf Coast birds still being rescued and treated.”
There is an opening-night showing, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, at the assisted living home.
