The artwork this exhibition was created throughStudio in a School’s Long Term Program, Studio’s original program that brings a unique visual arts experience to a select group of 20 New York City public elementary schools. Through this program, Studio’s professional artists set up an art studio in the school, where students have the opportunity to create, discuss, and reflect on their own artwork and that of others. Studio artists also work with teachers, parents, and principals to make the visual arts an intrinsic part of the school environment. A strong mutual commitment between Studio and each program site establishes an atmosphere of excitement, respect, and support for the art that students create. The drawings, paintings, prints, collage, and sculpture in this exhibit exemplify the truly magnificent work that children can produce in such an environment.
