The 33rd Annual Blackwell Street Juried Student Exhibit, showcasing the artistic talents of high school students from across Morris County, is on display at the Morris County Administration and Records Building in Morristown.
Organized by Morris Arts, the exhibition is located in the Atrium Gallery, spanning four floors of the building and featuring 280 works selected from more than 750 submissions.
The pieces represent students from Boonton, Butler, Chatham, Delbarton, Dover, Hanover Park, Jefferson Township, Madison, Montville Township, Morris Hills, Mount Olive, Mountain Lakes, Parsippany, Parsippany Hills, Randolph, Roxbury, West Morris Mendham and Villa Walsh Academy.
What began in 1988 with just 90 pieces of art has evolved into a “major annual celebration of youth creativity.”
The exhibit is intended to be inclusive in that submissions from public, private, parochial and home-schooled high school students throughout the county are welcomed.
There are no limits to the number of pieces a school may submit, and each entry is carefully reviewed by a jury of professional artists. This year’s show was curated by Dave Gruol and Peggy Dressel of the Blackwell Street Center for the Arts.
The Blackwell Street Juried Student Exhibition be on display through April 29. The Atrium Gallery is free and open to the public during regular business hours: Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with extended hours until 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and 7 p.m. on Thursdays. The building is closed on weekends.
