Frist Center Opens Young Tennessee Artists Exhibit 10/29

The Frist Center for the Visual arts will open Young Tennessee Artists: 2010 Statewide Advanced Placement Studio Art Friday, Oct. 29, 2010, in the Conte Community Arts Gallery. This third bi-annual exhibition showcases the artwork of 33 high school students who were enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) Studio Art programs throughout Tennessee in 2010. The 40 drawings, paintings, photographs and mixed-media works represent eleven schools and were chosen from seven hundred submissions from across the state. The exhibition, organized by the Frist Center, will continue through April 10, 2011.

The College Board's AP Studio Art program makes it possible for highly motivated high school students to participate in university-level art study. With the encouragement and guidance of committed AP teachers, these students produce work that challenges their artistic perceptions and develops their aesthetic methods, both conceptually and in terms of execution. At the end of the school year, students submit portfolios of their work to the College Board for evaluation. These evaluations enable colleges to acknowledge and encourage students' accomplishments by granting them credit for these courses.

This exhibition reveals the students' executions of thoughtful portfolios through artworks that skillfully synthesize form, technique, and content. The range and quality of work demonstrates a growing sophistication of AP Studio Art programs statewide.

Admission to the Conte Community Arts Gallery is FREE and open to the public.

The Frist Center for the Visual Arts is supported in part by the Metropolitan Nashville Arts Commission and the Tennessee Arts Commission.
