KENT, Conn.—The Kent Art Association has delayed its 33rd annual Student Show reception until Feb. 22 – when it will be a closing reception – due to a series of expected storms.
However, the show is under way. Works are on display at the gallery Thursdays through Saturdays from 1 to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. through Feb. 22.
This show highlights the artwork and accomplishments of the region’s high school students.
The individual school winners are Alex Wilbur, “Self Portrait,” Housatonic Valley Regional High School; Selah Witt, “Selah’s Studio,” Millbrook High School; Rebecca Tu “Untitled,” The Frederick Gunn School; Llewelyn Davis “Untitled,” Forman School; Tomas Puhalla, “Airplane,” South Kent School; and Owen Brown, “Bumble Life,” Marvelwood School.
The Best of Show award will be announced at the closing reception, which will be held on Saturday, Feb. 22, from 1 to 4 p.m.
Awards will be formally announced at 2 p.m.
The judge for the show was longtime arts supporter, Lynn Kearcher.
“We are thankful for the ongoing efforts for this show through the leadership of co-chairs Carl Chaiet and Michael Spross, both retired high school art teachers and active KAA members” said KAA president Joan Macfarlane.
