The exhibit features artwork created by students in grades 9 through 12 who attend public, private and homeschool in Morgan Hill, says a press release from Colibri Gallery.
For this year’s exhibit, the gallery invited artists Dani Tovik and Kurt Salinas to jury. Out of 131 works submitted, 56 were chosen to be featured in the show for their technical prowess and artistic expression.
