Congratulations to the following students with artwork showcased at the 15th annual K-8 Empire State Plaza Art Collection Exhibit. Their art is exhibited in the South Concourse of the Empire State Plaza, closest to the Madison Avenue entrance.
This year more than 1,100 works of art from 16 Capital Region school districts are displayed. The exhibit is in conjunction with the National Youth Art Month and is sponsored by the NYS Office of General Services, the Capital Area Art Supervisors, and the New York State Art Teachers’ Association. There will be a reception on Wednesday, March 6 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in the South Concourse. Artist Rae’ Frasier will be the guest speaker.
The student art is inspired by the Empire State Art Plaza Collection which is an assemblage of 92 Abstract Expressionist art displayed both in and around the Plaza.
