One of the exhibit founders, John Avedisian (retired art teacher), says “The goal was to give students the experience and excitement of a real gallery setting, surrounded by parents, teachers, neighbors and civic leaders. The exhibit rewards months of effort developing positive self-expression. For many it will be a first time seeing their art on display in a gallery. For others it will be the first time they’ve seen an art exhibit.”
