Edinburg celebrates Visual Art Students at IMAS
Special to the Advance
The International Museum of Art & Science and Edinburg CISD are set to present “Edinburg Celebrates Visual Art Students.”
Supported by Edinburg High School and Barrientes Middle School, this exhibition represents a collaborative effort to promote arts education and provide students with opportunities to develop their artistic skills further demonstrating the community's commitment to fostering creativity and cultural enrichment.
Additionally, the exhibition is supported, in part, by a grant from Texas Women for the Arts, a program of the Texas Cultural Trust.
The exhibition serves as a platform for young artists to share their unique perspectives and talents with the broader community.
Through their artwork, students express their creativity, demonstrate leadership, and celebrate their individual abilities. It is a celebration of diversity, empowerment, and the transformative power of the arts.
'We are thrilled to showcase the incredible talents of our students in this exhibition,' said Marcelo Ramirez, Curator at IMAS. 'This exhibition not only highlights their artistic achievements but also underscores the importance of nurturing creativity and leadership among young people.'
IMAS invites the community to experience the creativity and talent of this exhibition, which runs from April 20 to May 26, 2024. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore a diverse range of artwork, from paintings to multimedia installations, and to celebrate the artistic achievements of Edinburg's youth.
