This summer, 70 New York City public school students will get to see their own work on display in one of the world’s largest art galleries. For the third consecutive year, The Metropolitan Museum of Art is displaying exceptional works of art by students ages four through 20 in the juried exhibition P.S. Art 2010: Celebrating the Creative Spirit of NYC Kids.
P.S. Art is a collaborative program formed by the New York City Department of Education and Studio in a School Association, Inc. The program hosts a competition every year in search of exceptional works of art from students from all walks of life. The 70 pieces were selected from 800 submissions citywide, and include works from students with special needs, those in advanced placement art courses and everything in between.
Museum Director Thomas P. Campbell comments on the museums participation in the project.
"We are very pleased to play a role in bringing student achievement into public view through P.S. Art 2010 and supporting the continuity of artistic creativity, from the earliest objects in our own collections to works produced today, such as those now on view by these young New York City public school students.”
The exhibit opened on June 8 and will remain on view until August 8. For more information, click here.
