The annual Student Exhibition, a 60-year tradition at the Parrish, features the work of more than 1,000 young artists from schools on Eastern Long Island. Working with their art teachers and through art clubs, the students demonstrate creativity, enthusiasm, and technical skill in diverse media, ranging from painting to sculpture, drawing and photography.
This years' exhibition includes work created by students in Artist-in-Residence workshops with artist Jeremy Dennis.
In addition to the nearly 300 works by students under the direction of their art teachers in 38 public, private, and home schools, the exhibition features work by 350 students who participated in workshops to create works inspired by Dennis' images currently on view in the museum's exhibition Every Picture Tells a Story.
