The exhibition will run from October 11 through November 8, 2025, with a public artist reception on Saturday, October 11, 2025, from 4–7 PM, and an Artist Walkthrough on Saturday, November 8, 2025, from 2–4 PM.
Finding My Way explores the profound transformations that shape our lives—especially the pivotal journey from childhood to adulthood. Through this theme, the exhibition invites artwork that captures the physical, emotional, and psychological changes defining these formative years.
The diversity of student voices creates a compelling portrait of resilience, vulnerability, and discovery. All mediums are represented, from painting, drawing, and photography to sculpture, mixed media, and installation.
