This is the seventh annual “AR[T]HS” exhibit hosted by the ARHS art department, showcases the artwork by more than 150 students. Since its inception in 2009, the AR[T]HS exhibit has grown in size and in popularity with the students and faculty at ARHS.

“It’s a excellent example of the talent and dedication the ARHS art students have. Participating in a group art exhibit at a professional art gallery can greatly impact a student or motivate another.” says Art Department Chair and Ceramics teacher, Hannah Hartl. “Alumni of the art program have gone on to pursue careers in fine art, commercial art, and other art-related fields. This acknowledgement can be the first step towards students seeing themselves as a creative minded individual.”

AR[T]HS would not be possible without the help of a committee of dedicated parents, the support of Principal Mark Jackson, and the financial support of the Parent Guardian Organization.  For more information please contact Hannah Hartl (413) 362-1759 hartlh@arps.org
