Some of the region’s top young artists will have their work on display in the Lindgren Gallery Jan. 28 through Feb. 24, when the university hosts its 22nd annual High School Art Northwest exhibit.
The event begins with an opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28, in the gallery. Approximately 40 to 45 pieces have been selected as part of the show, with cash prizes awarded to juror-selected students based on the excellence of their art.
In addition to traditional mediums, such as paintings, ceramics and mixed media, the exhibit has expanded its scope over the years to include digital art and three-dimensional art. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. There is no fee to view the exhibit.
The annual juried exhibit features art from high school students in Oregon and Washington. High schools to be represented include Oregon Episcopal School, Lakeridge High School, Newberg High School, Lake Washington High School, St. Mary’s Academy, Wilsonville High School, West Linn High School and St. George’s School.
Prize winners will be announced at the opening. The jurors for this year’s show are art professors Doug Campbell and Gary Buhler.
