High School Invitational Exhibition

February 11 – March 4, 2011

Opening Reception and Award Ceremony:

Friday, February 11, 5 - 7pm

 

In the third year of this annual exhibition, AVA approached 30 regional Vermont and New Hampshire public, private, and vocational high schools, requesting art faculty to nominate works by students who show exceptional promise in one of the following eight creative disciplines:  Ceramics, Drawing, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Digital Art, Sculpture, and Wearable Art.  The Ceramics and Wearable Art categories are both being introduced for the first time this year and awards will be given in each category.  Also new for 2011, as a separate category, is the VINS Environmental Award, which will be presented by Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) to the student who creates a work of art with the most compelling environmental message.  This year’s awards will be chosen by Susan Walp, painter and Lecturer in Studio Art at Dartmouth College.
