Annual Juried High School Exhibition
In this fourth annual county-wide competition, New Museum Los Gatos asks Santa Clara County students to visually communicate their ideas and thoughts about this year's theme, BRIDGES" Facing Challenges.
Student artists will gain real-world experience presenting their work in a competitive environment and exhibiting in a museum setting. A jury of three university-level artist-educators will select works to be included in the exhibition.
Museum Explorer! Art
There is a difference between looking at art and seeing art. Master Storyteller, Jerry Falek, will encourage students to look deeply at the artwork in the exhibition and guide them to create their own story. After touring the museum, students will participate in an art appreciation lesson and create their own original work of art related to the themes of the exhibit.
