There’s an inspiring new exhibit at the Cape Cod Museum of Art – one that celebrates the talent and variety of Cape Cod’s young artists.
Artworks created by 50 students in more than a dozen Cape schools and art education programs are now displayed at the Dennis museum in “Through Young Eyes,” until April 18.
The exhibition, in its 18th year, is sponsored annually by the Cape Cod Museum of Art and the Cape Cod and Islands Art Educators Association (CCIAEA). The association is made up of current and retired art educators on Cape Cod, and was founded at the museum in 2003 by Linda McNeil Kemp, formerly the education director at the museum and the founder of many arts initiatives for young people locally.
It’s not too soon: Reflections on the pandemic time so far are among the artwork being showcased in new area exhibits.
One display in South Yarmouth hails the COVID-19 heroes; another in Falmouth takes a look at ordinary people living through extraordinary times. And creators of a Dennis exhibit seek to offer comfort just when a lot of us might need it.
Two other new art exhibits on the Lower Cape offer a look at memories and stories, personal ones and those reflecting a town.
Here’s a look at six new art exhibits to visit in person or virtually, to escape from the everyday world or to enrich it:

âPaper Talks: The Life of Miroslawa Pissarenko artist, horticulturist, teacher and friendâ will be on view through April 4.
Miroslawa Grabowski Pissarenko (1909-2006) believed that paper talked. She told this to her good friend Peter Michael Martin as she created Polish paper cuttings called wycniaki in her own intricate style, using only a pair of cuticle scissors. On Cape Cod Ms. Pissarenko is remembered for her paper cut-decorated eggs, which she demonstrated and taught to children in the schools and libraries. But that was just one example of her artistic touch.
