Chenango students’ work shines in ‘Artistic Discovery’
NORWICH – High school art students from across the county will have a moment to shine tonight when the Chenango County Council of the Arts hosts the annual Artistic Discovery event from 5 to 7 p.m. inside the gallery of the Council of the Arts building, 27 W. Main St.
Artistic Discovery is an art competition and an opportunity for high school students to show off their work to the public. Each work is judged and the top six contenders will have an opportunity to move on to another art show in Utica, where their work will again be judged against the top high school artists from other schools in the 24th Congressional District.
The ultimate goal is to have their work hang inside the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. for one year.
“I think this is just one of the best exhibits we do here. It shows the talent of the students and of the teachers here in the county,” said Joyce Zummo, exhibit coordinator at the Chenango Council of the Arts. “The arts are important and they get more important all the time ... to be a well-rounded person, it’s something that you need exposure to.”
This year, students’ work will be critiqued by Lori Wilson, application specialist at Golden Artist Colors in Columbus. With a strong background in the arts including a bachelor of arts in studio art and art history from Hartwick College, and a master’s of arts in art history from the University of Manchester, Wilson has traveled across New England, Asia and Europe enveloped in the artistic field and brings her experiences with her as this year’s juror at Artistic Discovery.
“It’s important to have an option for people who are seriously interested in art to have an experience like this – to see their work hanging on the wall of a gallery,” said Wilson. “This can be a source of measurement that leads to insight that leads to inspiration.”
Seven of the 10 eligible schools in Chenango County – totaling 105 students – will be spotlighted during Artistic Discovery. Winners will be announced at tonight’s reception.
