INSPIRED 10
REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL EXHIBITION
December 7 – December 19, 2023
Inspired is an annual, competitive exhibition offered to regional high school students (9 - 12th grade). This year, students were inspired by Contemporary Classic, a a curated group exhibition featuring five artists, Vitus Shell, Ayam Yaldo, Angela Fraliegh, Klaire Lockheart, and Carlos Gamez de Francisco, whose work revisits and reimagines themes from art history, as well as solo exhibitions from Chantal Lesley and Benry Fauna. They then virtually submitted their artwork and artist statements for consideration by a juror. Through this exhibition, students are exposed to the work of contemporary artists and given an early glimpse into the process of exhibition in a professional setting.
The juror for Inspired 10 is Vitus Shell, a mixed-media collage painter born in Monroe, LA, where he lives and works. From over a hundred submissions, he selected the works included in this exhibition.
