5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Student Exhibition Opening Reception
5 – 6:30 p.m. | Opening remarks to begin at 5:15 p.m.
Free and open to family and friends of HSLC students. Refreshments will be served.
Join us as we celebrate the opening of a new student exhibition and unveil the 2019 design for the Alley Art Project. A bronze sculpture in The Rockwell’s collection, Harmony by artist Tammy Garcia, served as inspiration for students to design a mural that tells a collective story about their future hopes and dreams, reflecting on their place within their community.
Incorporated into the design are symbols that students created connected to their personal identities representing challenges, choices, protection, fragility of life, transformation, potential for the future and mental well-being. This student exhibition opening reception will unveil the 2019 mural design, and celebrate the completion of the 2018 mural, The Art of Industrious Minds.
This project is made possible in part by grants from The Triangle Fund, The Great Circle Foundation Inc. and William G. McGowan Charitable Fund.
