Silvermine’s popular student exhibition celebrates its 25th year this spring. A crowd of friends, family, and artists gathered on Sunday, April 12 for the opening of the 2015 Student Art Exhibition in the Silvermine Art Galleries. Beth Livensperger, who teaches painting and drawing at the School of Art + Design at Purchase College, SUNY, acted as juror for the annual event, which includes new work by students who have completed at least one term of study at the Silvermine School of Art.
A vibrant show with work from a variety of media, the student exhibition offers students, their families and the public a view of the fine art and creative energy that is generated by the student body. Awards are given in adult and youth categories and across a number of media from painting and drawing to ceramics, digital imaging, and metalwork.
