Pablo Picasso famously said, "It took me a lifetime to learn to paint like a child." 

The Barryville Area Arts Association is giving young local artists a platform to showcase their work through their "Picasso Was Right!" series of arts events. And they’ll have the experience of an opening night with their work on display at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance’s Krause Recital Hall on August 3.

Culture Reporter Valerie Mansi spoke to Nick Roes of The Barryville Area Arts Association about the effort to empower and encourage "budding Picassos." 

This "Picasso Was Right!" project is sponsored by the Western Sullivan Public Library, the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, and the Barryville Area Arts Association, and made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant Program, a program of the NYS Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the NY State Legislature and administered by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance.
