Creativity Abounds in the Ramapo-Indian Hills District Art Show

The Ramapo-Indian Hills District Art Show is an annual, month-long exhibit which allows art students from both high schools to display their work in a public setting. According to Mrs. Gibson, “It’s a good place for students to get that exhibition experience.” Senior Edie Fontaine, who attended the Art Show, claims, “It was really nice to walk around and see art by people who you may not have known were artistic. It also felt good to see my art up somewhere.”

Touting mediums of all sorts, the District Art Show includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, photographs, animations, illustrations, digital designs, and more with ability levels ranging from beginners to advanced Honors and AP students. Some even receive offers on their work. Mrs. Gibson points out that students “could actually make money at the show. It’s not mandatory, but if some people really love a piece, we’ve had people ask the art teachers [if they can] buy the work.”

Ultimately, Mrs. Gibson “think[s] the show was a good representation of the wide range of students we have, and the wide range of work we have produced at both schools […] we had a good turnout that night. […] it seemed like everyone was happy and enjoying the show.”
