The works of nine Bethlehem Central High School students will be featured at an Albany exhibit showcasing the artwork of some of the area’s most talented high school artists.

The 27th Annual High School Regional Juried Exhibition will be open from March 21 through April 24 at the Albany Center Gallery in downtown Albany. The installation will feature student work in all mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, film, digital media, and sculpture.

  • Stephanie Piccolo
  • Cadence Relyea

The BC students are among 109 students from 27 high schools whose art will be on display. Their work was selected by three professional jurors from more than 500 entries. The exhibition jurors are: D. Colin, a multidisciplinary artist in poetry, theater, and visual arts; Tony Iadicicco, Executive Director of Albany Center Gallery; and Alicia Lea, a multidisciplinary artist and owner of Paint Cohoes.

The artists will celebrate the opening with their families, teachers, and friends at a private opening reception on Friday. A public reception will be held on Friday, April 3, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Albany Center Gallery is located at 48 North Pearl, Albany, NY 12207. The gallery is open Tuesdays through Saturdays, 12 noon to 5 p.m.

The High School Regional is sponsored in collaboration with regional art teachers, Albany Center Gallery, the New York State Art Teachers’ Association, Region 6, and the Capital Area Art Supervisors.
