Lincoln Academy’s Visual Arts Department and Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust are partnering once again to bring you the annual Student Art Exhibition, full of artwork by more than 60 of this year’s talented visual art students. The exhibition will be on display for three weeks, from April 9-25 at Coastal Rivers’ Denny Conservation and Education Center at 12 Round Top Lane in Damariscotta. All are invited to the opening reception to celebrate the student artists on Friday, April 11 from 5 – 7pm.
The Student Art Exhibition will feature artwork made by Nina Sylvia’s Advanced and AP Art students, Jonathan Mess’s advanced Ceramics students, and Kate Mess’s Jewelry & Metalsmithing students. Students do all of their own matting, framing, and installation for the show, and write artist statements to explain their creative process. They spend a day in the exhibition space before the show opens, hanging the work and making decisions about lighting, display, and curation. The exhibition is an important culmination of the creative process for art students, many of whom are showing their work for the first time.
