蜜柚直播

Students from 蜜柚直播 and Pima County schools are selected by their art teachers to participate and have a chance to win a $1,000 UA School of Art scholarship.

Works by two students from each school are selected, and according to Tracy Brown, an art teacher at in Sahuarita, 鈥渋t definitely can be hard to choose.鈥�

This is the second time Brown, who has been a teacher for almost 16 years, submitted her students鈥� works for the exhibit.

鈥淚t鈥檚 been great 鈥�. It鈥檚 such a good opportunity for the kids to see their work on display at a big university,鈥� she said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 a big opportunity for them.鈥�

The exhibit was 鈥渏ust an idea floating around鈥� back in 2018 when Willa Ahlschwede had been newly hired as an assistant curator at the museum. Her focus was on education and public programs.

The exhibit is open to district, private and charter schools, which select up to two pieces from their students for consideration, Ahlschwede said. There could be submissions from multiple teachers at the same school, which gives more students the chance to have their work recognized.

Jill Menaugh is a 3D art teacher at and has been submitting to the 鈥淥ur Stories鈥� exhibition since its launch.

鈥淚t鈥檚 such a great bridge for high school students to get to see the university and get to be a part of the art community, and kind of help bridge what comes next for them,鈥� she said.

Menaugh said it鈥檚 also a chance to see the talent coming out of area high schools.

鈥淎 lot of times, it鈥檚 way beyond expectations,鈥� she said.

The exhibition runs through May 20 at the University of 蜜柚直播 Museum of Art, 1031 N. Olive Road. Admission is $8. For tickets and more information, visit .
