The Historic Odessa Foundation is proud to showcase a collection of imaginative artworks created by the talented Advanced Placement Art studio students of Odessa High School, under the direction of art teacher Brianna Shetzler.  These high school seniors have worked diligently over the course of the school year and beyond to develop a studio process and an accumulation of artworks comparable to the college level.

The artwork being presented is a culmination of eight months’ worth of individual investigations through independent studio exploration of two-dimensional mediums, techniques, and content.  The exhibition will showcase a handful of finished works and sketchbook inquiries created by each of the AP students.

The Odessa High School is part of an impressive K-12 education complex of 4 schools on the Fairview Campus of the Appoquinimink School District and is less than 2 miles from the museum complex.  The show will be on display from Tuesday, March 31st through Sunday, April 26th with free visitation during the usual HOF museum hours.

Celebrate the art students’ creativity by attending a reception at the HOF Visitor Center on Thursday, April 16th, from 5-7 pm.  Light refreshments will be provided and the art students will be in attendance for plenty of meet and greet opportunities.
