High Art at the Attleboro Arts Museum The Museum’s annual high art exhibition is open to students in grades 9 through 12, who are either enrolled in public, private, parochial, alternative high schools or are home schooled. • Exhibition Dates:  May 21 – June 5, 2013 • Opening Reception:  Thursday, May 23 from 6:30-8:00pm • Guest Juror: Artist Jodi Colella ____________________ 2013 Theme:  Full Contrast A Show of opposites; black & white, light & dark, rough & smooth, right & wrong, good & evil… open to all mediums and concepts that communicate a literal or emotional view of opposing themes. Teams of high school students are charged with the creation of one large-scale installation that reflects or embodies full contrast.  It is essential that students design their installations with the goal to transform their allotted space in the Attleboro Arts Museum’s gallery.  Please keep in mind that it is not always necessary to fill every square inch of your allotted space, but more importantly to freely let your concept and materials dictate the final design and placement within the space you have been given.  Students are encouraged to work in collaboration with one another in completing this large-scale project.   Download a High Art Promotional Flier   ____________________ 2013 Participating High Schools:

The program goal is to have 90 Artful Acts of Kindness completed before the end of our 90th year – December 31, 2013. The Museum is defining an Artful Act of Kindness as a “thoughtful deed of the creative variety” that the Museum receives or shares. Examples would be the complimentary hosting of a local non-profit’s event in the Museum’s Ottmar Gallery; a no-cost painting demonstration for youngsters; or an out-of-the-blue donation of art supplies to the Museum from a vendor.
