Visual Arts teachers from both high HSE & Fishers schools–Jasmine Osborne, Danielle Ontiveros Goodwin, Lisa Brown, and Erin Warner (Fishers) along with Angela Fritz, Julie Strawhacker, Daniel Moosbrugger, Craig Helming and Lauren Reed (Hamilton Southeastern)–have been working with their students all year to help them hone their skills, create new projects, and learn and appreciate more about the arts.

The exhibit is open to the public from Thursday, March 30 through Thursday, April 27, Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Fridays by appointment. To make an appointment, contact Fishers Arts Council directly. The exhibit includes 110 pieces of artwork which include photography, drawing, painting, digital art, mixed media, ceramic, textiles, and more!

A free public reception will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, April 14, which includes the Scholarship Awards Ceremony at 6:45 p.m. Both events will take place at the Collaboration Hub at the Hamilton County Community Foundation, 11810 Technology Drive in Fishers.

These Hamilton Southeastern School District visual arts teachers are proud of the work of their students. Angela Fritz, the Visual Arts Department Chair at Hamilton Southeastern says the following about the student artists: “I am constantly impressed by my students. Every year I think the work the next year won’t be as strong, and every year the students rise to the challenge. The work we are seeing at the top level in our high schools isn’t just college level–it is strong advanced college level work. These kids are invested; they are engaged; they are interesting, and they are focused. Some of them have been accepted at top art schools around the country, and some won’t pursue art professionally–but what we all can be sure of is that they are patient, they are detail oriented, and they think outside of the box. These are the creative leaders of our future, and I couldn’t be more pleased!”

The Corporate Sponsor for the 14th annual Senior Showcase is STAR Financial Bank.
