BRUNSWICK — If you think of the student art show as a harvest of homegrown talent, Brunswick High School has a bumper crop this year.
An opening reception for the school’s annual student art exhibition is scheduled to run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the school. The reception is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served in the courtyard, weather permitting.
“The annual art show has been a tradition at Brunswick High School for over 40 years,” Brunswick High School arts department chairwoman
Jennie Driscoll said. “What makes this unique is that each art student in the program has a work exhibited, and the advanced students have full display boards. It is a chance to share with the community all the wonderful things students in art have been creating all year long. Art is stored in portfolios and here it has the chance to come out and be seen.”
Harrison Brown, one of the student exhibitors, said, “Being a senior has been an interesting experience for me at BHS. With my main focus on art and the intricacies of expression, I have found my way and will focus as an artist in college. The art show is a perfect representation of the blood, sweat and tears we art students have dripped into our work.”
This collection of the best artworks by students in grades nine through 12 enrolled in the Brunswick High School art program includes drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, collages, sculpture, ceramics, and mixed media.
A small selection of artwork will be for sale to benefit the BHS Art Scholarship Fund.
The exhibition will remain on display until May 28 in the hallways of the Art Wing at Brunswick High School, 116 Maquoit Road.
