Students Visit All-State Art Symposium

Two MPCS artists, M. Chaffee and G. Smith, had their works selected for the prestigious All-State Art Symposium, held at Piedmont University on February 28. Out of approximately 880 entries from across the state, only a select number of artworks were chosen.

As a result of their acceptance, MPCS students were invited to attend the all-day symposium where they participated in workshops and toured the exhibit.

We are excited to announce that several of our MPCS art students will have their work featured in some prestigious shows! We are excited to announce that M. Chaffee and G.Smith will have their work featured at the All-State Art Symposium, and on February 28 they will travel to Piedmont University for the exhibition and workshops.

The annual All-State Art Symposium is dedicated to promoting and recognizing the creative talents of high school students from Georgia's school districts. The symposium's workshops, juried exhibition, and other events provide high school students with cultural opportunities, develop advanced studio skills, and cultivate aesthetic appreciation, while recognizing excellence in high school art education. Through the dynamic symposium, students, parents, and teachers celebrate creativity and the symbiotic relationship of art and society.

G. Smith and S. Wheaton will have work displayed at the Capitol Art Exhibit March 8-14, with a reception on March 12.

The Capitol Art Exhibit is a celebrated annual event that showcases the creativity and talent of students in Georgia, coinciding with National Youth Art Month. With over fifty years of tradition established by the Georgia Art Education Association (GAEA), this exhibition has evolved from its origins under the iconic gold dome to the larger Twin Towers building, accommodating the growing number of participants.

Congratulations to these students on their hard work and tremendous talent.
