More than 120 young artists submitted their artwork for Youth in Arts’ annual RISING STARS. The show, in its 32nd year, features the best high school artists from public, private and alternative schools across Marin County.
The showcase runs February 11 through April 14. It features drawings, paintings, photographs, prints, sculptures, mixed media, and digital artwork from emerging youth artists. The art is on display at the YIA Gallery at 917 C St. in the Downtown San Rafael Arts District, weekdays from 11 am to 4 pm. Admission is free.
Visual art teachers from 13 Marin County high schools nominated their top students for the juried show. Winners will be announced on Saturday, February 11, at an artists’ award reception from 2 to 4 pm at the YIA Gallery.
“The work never ceases to amaze,” said YIA Director of External Affairs and show curator Morgan Schauffler. “It is always incredible to see what Marin’s thoughtful and innovative high school students put forth for the show. We love having an opportunity to share their unique, creative voices with our community.”
