Student art at The Hyde
GLENS FALLS — A Schuylerville student’s pen sketch was among the works recognized in The Hyde Collection’s 22nd annual Regional Juried High School Art Exhibition.
Noelle LeRoy, a Schuylerville senior, earned an honorable mention for her drawing “Wise Panda.”
Also, Rachel Nafis, a Shenendehowa senior, earned an honorable mention for “Koi,” her ink and watercolor artwork.
An awards reception will be held for students and their families from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, May 19, at The Hyde Collection, with a recognition ceremony at 2:30 p.m.
The Juried Show, which runs through Saturday, May 25, features 100 of the 1,114 entries submitted by students in 22 school districts throughout Warren, Washington, Saratoga, Hamilton and Essex counties.
Entries were submitted digitally for review by a jury composed of several art professionals. They are Nick Paigo, SUNY Adirondack associate professor of graphic arts, technology division; Margaret Bollendorf, lead scenic artist, Adirondack Studios Inc.; and Ivey Barker, artist programs coordinator and curator at Salem Art Works Sculpture Park.
“These talented students are the working artists and creative professionals of tomorrow,” The Hyde Collection’s director, Charles Guerin, said. “This exhibition is not only a showcase of students’ talent and creativity but is also designed to allow them to experience the preparation, submission and adjudication process crucial to their artistic development.”
