Two BHS students featured in Governor’s art show
The work of two talented Bluffton High School art students will be on display at the 54th annual Ohio Governor's Youth Art Exhibition, which will open on Sunday, April 21, at the Rhodes State Office Tower in Columbus. The juried exhibition is comprised of creative expressions in the visual arts created by outstanding and talented students from Ohio's high schools.
Alliyah Shisler (11th grade) had one piece and Hope Miller (12th grade) had two pieces selected for the Ohio showcase. Eight jurors reviewed 8,113 submissions from 14 regions and selected 319 works of art.
Amanda Schaeffer, State Director and coordinator of the exhibition, states, "It is with great pride that we exhibit these students' artworks at the Rhodes Tower. The exhibition is a testament to the high quality of visual arts education that exists in our state.
“It is vital that the community understands the value and importance of arts education, and the impact that it has on our young people. We hope that this exhibition fosters that understanding.
“We are fortunate that Ohio is a state in which the arts and arts education are supported by community and educational leaders, legislators, colleges and universities, civic organizations, and businesses. Without the support and encouragement from these groups, the achievements of these young artists might go unrecognized."
