Eco + Creativity Exhibit
The young artists featured in this exhibition are students at Arlington Public School's H-B Woodlawn Secondary Program and range from 7th to 12th grade. A jury of upper level art students selected the 30-plus artworks from approximately 60 submissions. Instead of their art reflecting themselves individually, these artists are choosing to give voice to shared community concerns. Instead of just showing their learned mastery of craft, design and aesthetics, this exhibition uses visual art as a light to shine on the dark in our society and presents solutions for positive change for the better.
