On Friday, April 3, art6 gallery will host the opening of the Regional Biennial Juried High School Art Competition. Coordinated by gallery member, Mitzi Humphrey, the exhibition will feature the work of current high school juniors and seniors working in all media. This is an opportunity for these students to exhibit work in a professional gallery setting, and cash prizes will be awarded.

This year’s juror is artist Eugene Vango, who will make the final selection for the exhibition and present first, second and third place awards.

Vango has exhibited widely and is a popular judge for student and professional shows.

The exhibition runs through Sunday, April 26. For more information, contact art6gallery@gmail.com or visit art6.org.
