夜色视频app鈥檚 is displaying the art of more than 50 art students from 11 high schools across the region. The annual Augustana High School Invitational will be on view through January 27, with a wide range of mediums on exhibit, including ceramics, drawing, digital photography, mixed media and printmaking.
The annual Augustana High School Invitational has been a long-standing tradition at the Eide/Dalrymple Gallery, celebrating what is currently being produced by our region鈥檚 high school art students. Although this past year has been one of disruption, this exhibition celebrates the resilience of our region鈥檚 art teachers and students. These high school artists and their mentors found ways to continue to produce art through periods of virtual learning and quarantine. Art teachers from around the region were invited to select up to three works produced by their students in the past year.
鈥淲hen COVID-19 hit last March, art was such a therapy for my students,鈥 said Lincoln High School Art Teacher Susan Waagmeester. 鈥淭hey felt like they had no control over what was happening around them, and art was their outlet both emotionally and sometimes physically too; it helped keep them grounded and gave them a sense of community.鈥
Waagmeester further notes, 鈥淏eing able to show their work and expose their feelings helps all of us deal with what life throws at us and helps us heal.鈥
The exhibition will be juried by members of the Augustana Art Department, which will be making awards of art supplies at the on Friday, January 22, at 7:15 p.m. High school artists can also participate in a portfolio review to compete for Augustana pro artis scholarships, worth up to $8,000 over four years.
