Petaluma Arts Center is set to showcases the top 100 high school art students from
Casa Grande, Petaluma and St. Vincent de Paul High School advance placement art classes during an upcoming High School Masterworks Exhibition in professional gallery spaces at the center, at 230 Lakeville Street, Petaluma, from March 15th through 31st, 2012.
Students have selected and framed their showcase art and will have benefited from the experience of participating in all facets of planning, marketing and installing a high quality art exhibition. Some students will be offering their work for sale.
The opening reception, Saturday, March 17th, from 4 to 6 pm, will be catered by Casa Grande’s culinary students and music will be performed by each of the three high schools.
Visitors may also participate in a student lead Community Art Project.
The exhibit will be the first of its kind in Petaluma. "We hope this will establish a precedent for an annual exhibition that creates a pathway for students to enter the public, professional art arena," said Lyndi Brown, Development Director fot the Petaluma Arts Center. "Collaborators include teachers, parents, community members and Petaluma Arts Center staff and volunteers."
