(ANGOLA) - The Angola Performing Arts Academy and Youth Art Gallery is welcoming the public to the January 16th opening of a new exhibit by artist Shane Morris, whose work blends art and entomology in unexpected and eye-catching ways.

The show features striking pieces created using vintage insect collections, transforming preserved specimens into thoughtfully composed works of art. The exhibit offers a hands-on learning opportunity for visitors with an interest in science, nature, or design--and has proven especially engaging for children fascinated by bugs.

Morris will attend the opening event on January 16th at 5:30 p.m., giving visitors the chance to ask questions, learn more about his creative process, and take photos with the artist.

Families are encouraged to attend and share the experience. Organizers note the show is well suited for parents looking for unique, educational arts experiences for their children.

Community members are invited to share the event with others who may be interested in art, insects, or creative learning opportunities.
