Local high school students will soon get the chance to have their art exhibited in the Woodstock Art Gallery, with the launch of the gallery’s new juried art show specifically for students.
Students in Grades 9 to 12, who live or study in Oxford County can invited to submit their work to the juried exhibit, titled New Impressions. It is the gallery’s first professionally juried show meant specifically for high school students.
“Young artists will be guided through every step of the process including artwork submission, professional documentation of artwork, the jurying procedure and even formal critique from local arts professionals,” said Stephanie Porter, the gallery’s head of education.
Jurors for the exhibit will include Marla Botterill, an art professor at Fanshaw College, and Mercedes Schuster, a Bechville-based artist. There will be three cash prizes for the best in show and juror’s choice picks.
Students will submit their work through an online form, and the gallery will make resources available to help students submit their work. The deadline to submit work is March 18 at noon, and the selected works will launch in a virtual exhibit on April 22.
