The Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District announced last week three Los Gatos High School students and six Saratoga High School students have been accepted to an annual juried Santa Clara County high school art exhibition. The educational program, titled “ArtNow,” is presented by New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU). It’s set to open April 4.
The artsy learners’ contributions were picked from a pool of more than 700 entries throughout Santa Clara County, putting these students in the top 10%. Participating artists can win scholarship money and awards in eight artistic categories: painting, drawing, mixed media, printmaking, sculpture, photography, digital art and video/animation.
Students selected:
Clara Choi, 10th grade (SHS)
Seoyoung Choi, 11th grade (LGHS)
Gonzalo Fernandez da Ponte, 11th grade (SHS)
Estelle Paduano, 11th grade, (LGHS)
Amy Pan, 12th grade (SHS)
Milla Petersen, 11th grade (LGHS)
Celina Ren, 11th grade (SHS)
Olivia Shi, 9th grade (SHS)
Joanne Zhang, 11th grade (SHS)
This year’s theme, “Dreamscapes,” was co-created with the ArtNow Teen Council as a way to show how art reflects our dreams—and how dreams reflect our hopes, fears, values, environment and aspirations. Students were instructed to create an original work on this theme.
The exhibit will be on view at NUMU from April 4-July 20.
