On view in the South Gallery through July 2020

In January, 2020, a group of young artists, aged 11-17, were selected to participate in our Emerging Artist Mentorship Program. Each artist was paired with a professional artist mentor according to their own artistic interests and goals. The pairs then set to work, outlining their plans for a collaborative project.

When the Coronavirus pandemic took the nation and the world by storm, many people's lives and plans were thrown off course. Our artist community was no exception, but the work you see here is an inspiring example of the commitment these young artists and their tutors have to the creative process. They continued to correspond and create together by any means necessary, because even in times of crisis, artists create to survive and thrive. This work is a reflection of their resilience and drive.

Thank you to all of our Mentors and Mentees!
