You are cordially invited to the Grand Finale reception and exhibit featuring all the artwork created at "Picasso Was Right!" events this summer at Public Libraries all across Sullivan County, NY.

Drawing inspiration from legendary artist Pablo Picasso, the program embraces his famous insight: "It took me a lifetime to learn to paint like a child." While some might view Picasso’s work and say, "a child could have done that," Picasso himself would have considered that the highest praise.

The "Picasso Was Right!" series celebrates the idea that the most meaningful art is often childlike—simple yet profound, fragile yet resilient, innocent yet wonderfully rebellious. These events are designed to nurture that natural creativity in children and teens up to age 16.

So please join us from 3-5 PM on September 4, 2026 at Krause Recital Hall at Delaware Valley Arts Alliance Gallery in Narrowsburg, NY.  and experience an Opening Night experience that welcomes young creatives to the world of art.

These events are made possible with the support of the Western Sullivan Public Library, Ethelbert B Crawford Public Library, Sunshine Hall Public Library, and funding from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance.
