THE HYDE COLLECTION CELEBRATES YOUNG ARTISTS AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSION WITH THE 2024 HIGH SCHOOL JURIED SHOW
The Hyde Collection is thrilled to announce the return of the highly anticipated 33rd Annual High School Juried Show. This spring exhibition serves as an extraordinary platform for budding student artists across Warren, Washington, Saratoga, Hamilton, and Essex counties to showcase their talent and immerse themselves in a professional, competitive arts environment.
Taking place from May 4th to June 2nd, 2024, the High School Juried Show is one of the nation’s longest running events of its kind, spotlighting the works of dozens of outstanding regional artists. This year’s exhibition promises to be exceptional. We received over 580 artwork submissions from 261 students representing 14 regional schools.
The High School Juried Show serves as a transformative opportunity for area high school students to delve into the intricacies of the art world, gaining invaluable experience and knowledge along the way. High school artists employ diverse styles and mediums, including drawing, painting, digital illustration, photography, mixed-media, jewelry, sculpture, and ceramics. This esteemed exhibition exposes participants to the finer points of a professional competitive exhibition process, fostering growth, creativity, and a deeper understanding of their craft.
In an extensive jurying process in which all submissions are reviewed, judges selected 100 pieces of artwork for the exhibition. Our jurors this year include Rebecca Pelchar, Director of Visual Arts Gallery at SUNY Adirondack, Jade Miner, Youth Program +Workshop Coordinator at Salem Art Works, and Aili Lopez, Program Director at C.R.E.A.T.E Community Studios.
“The High School Juried Show is an amazing opportunity for area high school student artists to learn and experience the finer points of a professional competitive exhibition process. As one of the nation’s longest-running high school juried shows, we are proud to continue providing this opportunity for our region’s amazing young artists,” said Katelyn Foley, Curator of Education & Engagement at The Hyde Collection.
The exhibition’s winners will be announced at the opening reception on May 4th in The Helen Froehlich Auditorium at The Hyde Collection. Awards will include Best of Show, Curator’s Awards, Juror’s Awards, and the Visitor’s Choice Award. Additionally, winners will receive scholarships for art classes at SUNY Adirondack, gift certificates for summer programs at Salem Art Works, or a gift of membership at North Country Arts.
A total of fourteen school districts entered and are featured in this year’s exhibition. Included are students from the following New York school districts: Argyle Central School, Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Central School, Cambridge Central School, Fort Edward High School, Glens Falls Central School, Johnsburg Central School, Lake George Jr and Sr High School, North Warren Central School, Saratoga Springs High School, Schroon Lake Central School, South Glens Falls High School, Queensbury High School, Ticonderoga Central School District, and Whitehall Senior High School.
The High School Juried Show exemplifies The Hyde Collection’s commitment to fostering creativity, growth, and artistic excellence in our community. We invite art enthusiasts of all ages to join us in celebrating the power of artistic expression and the talent of our region’s youth.
