The Herb & Milly Iris Gallery at SOPAC Presents Inspired Minds Exhibit Showcases Art of Essex County High School Students through Aug. 15

Free

The Herb & Milly Iris Gallery in the South Orange Performing Arts Center is pleased to present INSPIRED MINDS: YOUNG ARTIST EXHIBITION featuring drawings, paintings, and photography by gifted young artists from Essex County high schools. On view through August 15, 2017 at SOPAC, One SOPAC Way, South Orange, NJ, the selected works were juried by a panel of distinguished artists, photographers, art collectors and museum curators and can be seen on the second and third floor gallery space in the iconic South Orange landmark.

Now in its third year, INSPIRED MINDS: YOUNG ARTIST EXHIBITION was created for the Herb & Milly Iris Gallery to celebrate the work of young visual arts, and to encourage their creativity with a professional exhibition experience. Every high school in Essex County was invited to participate and students were able to submit multiple pieces. Through the three years of the program it has grown by leaps and bounds, and in 2017 over 1,000 submissions were considered. Students from 18 high schools submitted work and the final pieces selected came from the following high schools:  Columbia High School, East Orange Campus High School, Lacordaire Academy, Livingston High School, Millburn High School, Newark Preparatory Academy, Nutley High School, and Arts High School.
