North Suburban YMCA's annual art exhibit moving from library to Y

Every March the North Suburban YMCA holds an art show to showcase the work of their winter art students. It's usually held at the Northbrook Public Library, but this year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, it will be held at the Y. The open house for the artists is set for 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 7, at the YMCA, 2705 Techny Road, Northbrook.

The exhibit demonstrates the array of mediums used in the Y's Visual Arts classes, offered for all ages and interests. Spring session starts on March 29; registration is now open, and many classes have virtual options.

"We are very proud of our art students' dedication this winter. The classes have been an important creative outlet for them," according to the Y's Visual Arts Director Cathie Winnie.

The North Suburban YMCA's Community Galleries support the local arts community by presenting free public exhibitions of work by artists from the northern suburbs. For Program Guide, registration and more information, visit NSYMCA.org.
