James Grashow Exhibit at the Sharon Arts Center

Artist, James Grashow, in collaboration with the Sharon Arts Center, created an "Aquarium of the Imagination" with area school children made entirely of cardboard. The fourth grade class visited the "Aquarium," observed the art and then wrote a poem. Take a moment to read the poetry that was inspired by their "underwater" visit.
