“Seeing our students work in a curated professional environment is always super satisfying for all of us. Watching the artists engage with their families and navigate the positive energy really brings into focus why their work matters. Opportunities like this offer our young creatives the space to be both seen and heard, and we couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishments.,” said Rena Friedant, 6-12 Special Area Liaison, Art.
