Join us for the Oak Hills High School Studio Art AP Exhibition as a part of Future Now- Wash Park Art’s annual celebration of outstanding student works

May 8 – May 17
Oak Hills High School Visual Art Department Chair, Jamie Schorsch, and AP Studio Art instructor, Bridget Dignan-Cummins, will curate an exhibit of advanced high school students’ art works selected from their AP Portfolios.

The works are selected exemplify the extremely high level of rigor, commitment and accomplishment that AP Studio Art students can achieve.

This exhibition is organized annually to celebrate AP student works and to recognize AP student accomplishments throughout the academic year. The exhibition also serves to visually inform other students, teachers, parents and community members about the Studio Art AP program and the diverse subjects, styles, media, techniques and expressions that students may pursue.

Schorsch and Dignan-Cummins curated this exhibit with thanks and appreciation for their students’ hard work in the demanding AP program.

Please show your support of the Oak Hills High School student entries and VOTE!

Jamie Wullenweber’s piece is #14, “The Primaries” (and is displayed incorrectly in the photograph, it should be verticle) and Taylor Helms’ is #19, “Cherry Blossom”.

Thank you for your help in getting the student’s art displayed in Washington!  Last year OHLSD was represented in our Nation’s Capitol Building by Cameron Suter’s work.  Let’s see if we can go 2 years in a row!

Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional district. Since the competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated.  Students submit entries to their representative’s office, and panels of district artists select the winning entries. Winners are recognized both in their district and at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, DC. The winning works are displayed for one year at the U.S. Capitol.

Last year, Cameron Suter (’14) had his piece selected for display in the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, DC.  We will try and continue the tradition this year!

Congratulations and good luck to Taylor Helms, Marissa Ryan, Alyssa Weber, Vivien Smith, Jamie Wullenweber, and Kelly Cline on being selected to submit work for the 1st round of the competition.  Stay tuned for information regarding voting for pieces and who advances!
