Superintendent Michael S. Nelson and Principal Michael Devoll are pleased to announce that artwork by three Old Rochester Regional High School students has been selected for the Emerging Young Artists and Designers (EYAD) 2024 Juried Exhibition.
The EYAD is hosted annually by the College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. The program received submissions from 808 students this year, from which 199 works were selected for the exhibition by CVPA’s Associate Dean Ann Kim.
Beginning January 26, the EYAD will be available for viewing online. The work featured will represent students from schools around New England.
The selected ORRHS student work includes:
– Addie Crete’s watercolor painting, created in Drawing & Painting class with Kate Butler.
– Mariana Sudofsky’s color patch bowl set (wheel-thrown pottery), created in Ceramics class with Joanne Mogilnicki.
-Mitchell Mathieu’s circulos mask, created in Ceramics class with Mogilnicki.
“Our Art Department provides amazing support and leadership to our students as they explore their talents,” Principal Devoll said. “The works by Addie, Mariana and Mitchell are shining examples of the many talented artists whose work is cultivated at ORRHS under the supervision of Ms. Butler and Ms. Moglinicki.”
Added Superintendent Nelson: “Being selected for this exhibition is a wonderful achievement for our students and showcases their great creativity, passion and attention to detail. We look forward to seeing their work featured alongside dozens of other works by students across New England.”
