Teen Spirit '12

High School Art Competition and Exhibition

January 15 - February 11, 2012

Opening Reception: Sunday, January 15th 3:00-5:00pm

Each year Teen Spirit brings to our area an exhibit with its own personality and a new array of fresh and exciting high school student artwork. Teen Spirit was created in 1993 as a part of an ongoing effort to support the area’s art programs and to recognize the talented youth of the region.  In it’s 19th year, Teen Spirit has come to symbolize the success of art education in the area. Teen Spirit is a tribute to all the schools, students, teachers, and other art professionals, whose outstanding work and enthusiasm over the years have been integral to the success of the exhibition.

Three additional high schools and local home-schooled students are participating in this year’s Teen Spirit along with eight returning area high schools.
