WATER MILL, NY (PNAN) – Artworks of more than 1,000 young artists from Eastern Long Island schools goes on view in the Parrish Art Museum during its annual Student Exhibition on Sunday, March 13, and remains on view through April 24, 2022.
“We are delighted to highlight the flourishing arts community in our region’s schools by supporting the work of art educators and student artists,” said Parrish Education Director Cara Conklin-Wingfield. “We hope the exhibition brings pride and joy to children and families, and stimulates a lifelong love of art.”
A 65-year tradition celebrating youthful imagination and creativity, this important aspect of the Museum’s program was enhanced by this year’s Artist-in-Residence Eric Dever, who led workshops with more than 250 students. A 54-foot-long collaborative mural titled A Visual Conversation was created during the residency, a video demonstration of the process by Dever, plus original works by the artist will also be on view.
Participants in the Student Exhibition explore many traditional and non-traditional approaches to art-making. Working with their art teachers and through art clubs in schools from Bellport to East Hampton and the North Fork, the students demonstrate imagination, enthusiasm, and technical skill in diverse media such as painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, and new media, among others.
