The gallery includes a guided tour by our own members as well as over 50 original artworks represented from each visual arts class!
Members created masks based on folklore creatures from around the world. The masks were constructed from cardboard, plaster of paris and paint. Each member took a few minutes to show off their mask at the end of the summer in this Masquerade Video.
Congratulations to our Teen Artists for the Month of November! Keyla and Allison have both demonstrated a high level of commitment and tireless effort this semester. Keyla and Allison spent hours outside of class to create original artwork for the APCH Gala Auction with Allison’s chosen to be duplicated into a limited edition print. It has been a wonderful semester watching these member’s push themselves creatively. Congratulations to you both!
