Save the Date for "High School Pic[ks] 1" Reception
The Capital City Arts Initiative announces its exhibition, "High School Pic[ks] 1", at the Community Development Building [the Brick], 108 E Proctor Street, Carson City.
Sixteen high school student artists from Carson, Dayton, and Douglas high schools have work in the exhibit. CCAI will host a reception for the artists on Tuesday, September 13 from 5:30-7pm at the Brick. The free exhibition is available to the public from September 1 - November 29, 2016.
"High School Pic[ks] 1" includes a wide variety of two-dimensional art: painting, drawing, photography, and mixed media pieces that show the depth and breadth of the students’ creativity.
The participating Carson High School student artists include Charley Andrews, Maeve Hoerth, Katy Liemandt, and Jessica Mathiesen. The Douglas High students are Abbie Baxter, Shelby Casaus, Vincent Gonzales, Liam Holman, Tabitha Keating, Leedi Martinez, Jasa Villaneuva, and Jessica Withrow. Dayton High is represented by artists Hannah Gottschalk, Schyler Manley, Kamryn Stevenson, and Oakley Workman.
These talented young artists are students of Mike Malley at Carson High, Malaynia Wick at Dayton High, and Rita Borselli and Kimberly Brennan at Douglas High. Sharon Rosse, CCAI Executive Director, said “We are delighted to present this exhibition to showcase the artists’ work and to thank the teachers for nurturing our young artists’ skills and imaginations.”
The Brick is open to the public Monday - Friday, 8am – noon, 1-4pm. The show will remain in the building’s lobby exhibition space through November 29.
This show is the second in CCAI’s 2016 – 2017 series of student exhibitions in the Brick. The following group exhibitions will present art by students from Sierra Nevada College in December, Western Nevada College in February; and from Carson, Dayton, and Douglas high schools again in the spring.
