High school students from Cardozo High School and Sidwell Friends School come together in Northwest Convergence, an exhibition of drawings, paintings and mixed media works. The students reflected on the themes of INTERSECTIONS: A New America Arts Festival, learned about artists and art movements that dealt with similar issues, and created an artwork that illustrated intersections in their own lives. Works by the respective teachers, Kimberly King and Anna Tsouhlarakis, will also be on display.
One of the things I'm most excited about for the festival is the "intergenerational" aspect of the programming. From the beginning, we wanted artists of all ages to meet us "at the intersection" bringing their perspectives. The art teachers from Sidwell and Cordozo, Anna and Kimberly, have collaborated to bring their students into a collaboration that will soon be shared with the diverse audience that will gather at the Atlas. Nothing better.
